Death of Victoria Rae

I was honey in your womb
my heart about to bust
you paid me for my love
by burning down my lust
you took from me a child
and we watched it die
you tore apart my insides
when you said goodbye
you put me in the blame
I know that's what you did
sent me to the flame
for an unborn kid
what is it that you wanted
did you want me dead
trade me to the grave
and keep the child instead
I was just your slave
did just what you said
gave you what you asked
served upon our bed
felt my soul inside you
held you while I bled
the dreams I kept inside me
locked up in my head
nothing could have stopped it
not my fault she died
tried to hold you tight to me
all the days you cried
I'm sorry that the world
tore you up inside
sorry I gave her to you
for you to be denied.
