Aphonic Threnody - To Mourn A Mother

Your soft voice still whispers to me
Memories that still cut deep
Your gentle touch kept me safe
Though the years were not kind

A proud woman you were
A pale glimmer that shone alone
Silently our time together faded away
My anguish, my pain was ignored
Left alone, I wept tears of woe

How I longed to hear your voice
Death is always shrouded in blackness

My grief was to be denied
Thrown to the wolves who weave lies
I lay beneath a small window
Looking for the sky to carry away my hurt

I tasted freedom but felt trapped
Would I ever mourn for my mother

An empty shell my tears burned away
Inside I have nothing but fear

How cruel life is to be cast aside without hope
Years have past since you went away

So many days I prayed to die
My god had abandoned me
He left me to rot away in despair

I cursed his name, as I opened my skin

Another chapter, yet complete
Another chapter, yet complete
Another chapter, another chapter
Another chapter, yet complete
