For the last time, I gazed upon her face
She didn't look as strange as I had feared
But that pink lipstick she wouldn't have worn
I stood and thought to myself, "it's only a shell"
Wherever you are, Mom, I wish you peace
She never cared much about honor or grace
And her ways of thinking were somewhat weird
Her dream come true was the day I was born
But she chose a rocky path and eventually fell
Wherever you are, Mom, I wish you peace
It was the only possible time and place
I hesitated, but in me curiosity seared
Touching her hard eyes and flesh helped me mourn
I peeked at the cut in her chest, then bid her farewell
Wherever you are, Mom, I wish you peace
Never again will I feel her embrace
She chose to be blind to the fate she neared
My bitter anger vanished, leaving me forlorn
I suddenly forgave her for the emotional hell
Wherever you are, Mom, I wish you peace.
