You chose to end the life inside of you

rrodriguez

You chose to end the life inside of you,

The light of life should have burned bright all day;

Death, death came silencing my baby coos.

 

You’ll never, never know what I went through,

Because I had no voice and not a say 

You chose to end the life inside of you.

 

Your little baby’s turn to die is due

With my  torn body I can’t dance today,

Death, death came silencing my baby coos.

 

Crazy thing is a baby slew and do...

Then learn, too late, grief will not go away,

You chose to end the life inside of you.

 

Gentle baby, death came, death came with rue 

Dressed in white & crimson hands, no complain.

Death, death came silencing my baby coos.

 

And you, mother, you made a choice, you knew,

You took my life with your pro-choice refrain.

You chose to end the life inside of you.

Death, death came silencing my baby coos.
