Pride and Joy - Adaliah

Looking back on the past, through a charred pane of glass

Wondering where did i go wrong?

Wondering where his bright mind turned to shit

He through his shell into the sea, lost under a sea of blues

Days go by, he’s still a burden on his family.

Years passing by,

he’s still long gone

Now just a memory, that I stay haunted by.

His voice still lingers through my

head.

I never said goodbye

As he sits dead in his chair

Full of the poison he so cleverly sought

He tried so hard, to leave us behind

His mother barely just hanging on

She’s still waiting for him to come back home

A diamond necklace

His youthful innocence

Still shining bright in her eyes

But she was never shamed.

Looking back on the past, through a charred pane of glass, wondering where his

bright mind turned to shit.

She through his shell into the sea, that’s how she

remembers…

Her pride and joy, still shining bright in her eyes
