kill me like a fool
in augusts blood
and father's wrath
of his son's reckless rebellion
and mama's stubborn care
kill me in the rain
of saccharine poison
and stumbled prayers
from voiceless mouths
and helpless hands
kill me a sheep's grunt
in a wolf's pack
of savage reign
and dirty names
kill me for who i am not
and who you have become
kill me for all that's lost
and all that will never be the same.
