"LILLABETH"

THE PLAN GIVEN UP 
TO HARD TO THINK ABOUT 
HOW SHE MIGHT HAVE 
COME TO BE ABOUT 
IN YOUR ARMS 

SHE WAS ALL YOU EVER WANTED 
TO HOLD, CARE, AND PROTECT HER 
BUT I WOULD NEVER LET YOU 
HAVE HER BECASUE I KNEW 
WE WEREN'T READY

YOU SCREAMED NONSTOP AT ME 
UNTIL YOUR VOICE STOPPED WORKING 
AND I TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO YOU 
THAT NOW WASN'T THE TIME 
FOR HER TO COME INTO THIS WORLD

YOU CONTINUED TO TRY FOR ME 
TO GIVE HER TO YOU 
BUT I ALWAYS SAID NO 
AND YOU CRIED HER NAME ALOUD 
MY SWEET LILLABETH
