March. 1945 unwanted from his first breath.
|
|
A mother's blessing born, a father's burden worn.
|
|
The bright shine of the sunrise along the tile floor to the open door.
|
|
With blood on the streets she lay on the mattress.
|
|
Staring aimlessly.
|
|
Numb, dark and decayed
|
|
On the bathroom floor of their rundown apartment.
|
|
Scraping fingers on tile just to feel something.
|
|
Unwanted by a bastard father.
|
|
Unwanted, but through the hazel eyes of his mother.
|
|
She's praying for god to save her.
|
|
"Please save me." but when she needs him most, he doesn't answer.
|
|
Another rosary, another unanswered plea.
|
|
"Please take us away, please let us be safe.
|
|
Let everyone that sees me forget my face."
|
|
But all she gets is the drunk with his fists and that old devil look in his eye.
|
|
Him and Jack, that gambling debt, that old devil look in his eye.
|
|
And without warning he raises his hand to her and says,
|
|
"Your god can't hear you, not down here.
|
|
No one will save you because no one cares."
|
|
And with her newborn boy, they would cry until the early morning light.
|
|
It was the first of many, many sleepless nights.
