With every breath of cigarette smoke
that escapes his lips
the color of her spirit progressively fades

Dear God are you listening?

With every sip of alcohol
that flows through his body
her trust in her once hero weakens

Dear God are you listening?

With every pill
she takes for her escape
her life becomes a blur

Dear God are you listening?

It's me..

Your daughter

But she hears
No reply
No response
just silence
emptiness
and nothing at all

She closes her eyes
in the night
and as her life
is drifting away

she then hears

Yes my daughter
I am listening
I am here with you
I will never leave you alone

Remember my daughter
you are never alone
