A Mathers Lies

Jacqueline Cofield 1991 (United states)

A mothers lies hide where she died

She died a million times inside those lies

A mother tried to hide behind her lies

Those many lies of her many lives

Could be tied to her daughter’s demise

A daughter finally rised

To dig through those lies

To unhide the lies

could save their lives

Breaking the ties

A mothers lies

Hold over her daughters life
