Is it over? Is it over now?
Can I open my eyes? Are you done?
I hope death is as glamorous as you dreamt it would be
I pray for your sake it's that
I hope you found your way
Got fabulous seats
Tickets, a front row view to witness our grief
You yearned for the tomb
The comfort of your mother's womb
The sense of control
When left on your own
I yearned for a part
Of your decision, a place in your heart
A say in the matter before you'd depart
Have you ever loved, have you ever feared?
That your heart could burst from pain
If I was not there
You gave life to us, your father and I
Then took it away
Without telling us why
You yearned for the tomb
The comfort of your mother's womb
The sense of control
When left on your own
I yearned for a choice
A last chance to hear your frail voice
Tell me "it's alright, get back to your night"
I yearn for a fight
A scream that wakes us in the night
And hour of tears
To hug away your fears
Not this clinical silence
And a name I can no longer say
Not bottomless sadness
That you went away
