"The Dirge" by Rachael Williamson


We were a happy family until she died

Dad, you were my pillar when Mom died

You healed me, although you needed healing yourself

Your pain grew and turned you against me

When you healed

You moved on and discarded me like trash from your past

I get on bended knees to appease you, father

Even though you turn your gaze away from me

Why did you cut me off and make me an orphan

Why did you leave me all alone 

With no you, no mother, no family, no one

We live in worlds apart, father

As matters of me, you have no clue

Rejected and alone

I find myself in this great big world

With no you, no mother, no family, no one

If only she lived, my story would be different
