Mary,
Mary,
please let me dull
the powerful pushing
being done on your skull
Mary,
Mary,
don’t leave us yet
your daughter’s poor heart
can’t handle more fret
Mary,
Mary,
your children’s frowns
will only get longer
when you’re lowered down
Mary,
Mary,
running out of air
death’s grey fingers
writhe in your hair
Mary,
Mary,
your battle not won
the darkness descends
your life comes undone
