That Time I Killed My Mom

When she asked me to kill her, I said of course I would
She had another week or two, but why should she suffer?
Then my daughter came into the bedroom and asked, what's wrong with grandma’s face?
My mother decided she wanted to die with grace
I said momma are you sure you want this to happen to you right now?
She said, yes please end it sweetie, I can't live with this much pain
I'd like to die surrounded by the people I most love
I brought you into this world, you gotta take me out

My last greatest decision took just one millisec
Ethics turned to instinct, and prim into respect
I grinded 20 Oxy’s and 30 Percocet, I was told that would be more than enough
It turns out she was stronger than anyone had thought
The brain wanted to turn off, but it couldn't convince her heart
Her eyes stuck halfway open, her mouth shaped into a frown
After 20 hours her body would not shut down

It's time to say goodbye
I told everyone to leave the room, this was a solo sin
I said goodbye, I kissed her, and shot her with insulin
The death rattle, her last battle, our mind can never erase
So I gently put a pillow on her face
Tag me what you need to, call this an attack
Fill my veins with cold blood, color my heart black
My mom gave me the greatest life anyone could ever live
So I gave her the greatest gift that I could give
