[hometext] => Most our family has died. Leaving me and my four children with only each other. Then my daughter wanted to die too. I didn't understand
[bodytext] => She lay sleeping, with hidden sorrow. I lay at rest, with one eye opened. My mind races for answers not yet asked. This hurt is so deep. Is hers or mine? Life seems so unsettled, for the young or old? Would she end all so soon? This love is not deep. Selfish, coward. Losers so young to leave and rest, and leave me with one eye opened. Life is not fair to some so young. To take a rest at ones own hand, is to leave a soul uneasy. And I sleep with one eye opened. Rest now beside the one whos love was not deep. Easy escape. No tears, no sorrow, no pain. Suns up now and yet another day has birth a dawn. As I arise time stands still to wipe the tear from the eye of sleep. I now sleep with one eye opened.
