The Last Piece of Cake

She wasn't expecting anyone to hurt her

Least of all her daughter

She had always been a good mother

But her feet slipped in the mud

She took a walk with her daughter

And her feet slipped in the mud

She looked up at her betrayer

Running quickly through the trees

Please don't leave me here in the dirt

Please help me up

Reach to me your hand

Please help me up

She wasn't expecting anyone to hurt her

Then her feet slipped in the mud

Please don't leave me here in the dirt

Reach to me your hand

Help me clean these dirty wings

I am so terribly hurt

This makes me want to believe in heaven

And angels

For mothers

And hunchbacks

And wolves

Please let me believe that she's happy

And safe

And warm

And smiling

Eating apples and the last piece of cake
