A Sad Ending

Darkness surrounds
And the baby cries
Her mother made her the victim
Of a life made up of lies
A father never knowing
Just what love could be
Until he helped to make
This innocent baby
Except it already was too late
The damage already done
Never would this family
Ever live as one
Because the darkness is for the mother
Who could take no more
She swallowed all those pills
And then she locked the door
The father though he tried
It already was too late
After he realized his love
She acted on her hate
Hush baby hush
Now daddy is gone too
Too bad they never realized
Their selfishness hurt only you.

Please tell me there are six of you sitting around writing these poems.

Because I don't believe that so much can be written so well by one person.

Good work! Could you write a tribute to a baby on the way?

(laughing)...Ah, if only that were true...no it is all me alone...like I said before...late night ramblings...sometimes they are good, and other times...(well, those ones we just skip!)
