River of Salty Tears

The river of salty tears - beneath the bended knees of the shattered one
The shattered son - mumbling words that matter - none.
he who pushed a life to take a life -Yes debbie's gone
The guilt crippling - misery - the darkness looms.
The abortion was a no no - she was scared to do it
But her fear of losing him pushed her to it
Blindly - she lost her life trying to take a life - solemn matters
And she left behind mom, dad & a broken brother
The only daughter - and sight to behold
Beauty more than skin deep - YES! a loving soul
Sadly she paid the price of a wrong choice
Deadly decisions made Listening to the wrong voice
The fear of the future snuffed the life Out of present - word
Now he lays on his bed - tears flowing freely cos the doc just called
Her mother's smile haunts him - the first date permission
The promises to take her bruv out to the mall - tainted vision
Suicidal thots - he contemplates a quick escape
Not man enough to face the dilemma - his liver fails
His door opens but already at the window
Standing precariously on the ledge - strong winds on the 5th floor
Eyes closed - heart racing fast
Thinking better to end it all now - no erasing the past.
He leans forward in readiness to end it all
A pair of strong loving arms stops his fall
Mother was holding on to son for her dear life
A single mother since 21 - she'd paid the price...
She dragged him in - and held him close
Their tears spoke deeply but words dint flow
A grateful mom - a broken son
Both fall to their knees in solemn calm
