her wings expanded to the greatest length they could attain
they've yet to leave on your children a permanent stain.
the wings carried her through nine
without hesitation, she left without a goodbye
feathers floated slowly to the ground
she was on the move, windy city bound.
beauty shriveled right before my very eyes as the wings of a perfect figure start to melt
nothing left behind besides your dirty knit sweater and memories, none heartfelt
i wish you well, but know a birthday card will never lead me to forgive you
i hope you're alright; watching them grow, your niece and nephew
sleep tonight, please get some rest
for what you've done is unforgivable, but a family has been transformed from your pathetic, empty nest.
