Grandma’s Mistake

Grandma’s Mistake

Sad girl, she was the first to hold you,

Sad girl, and you held her last.

Sad girl, she had no idea what you would do,

Sad girl, or how you would fall, oh so fast.

Sad girl, you were brutal,

Sad girl, “such an embarrassment” she said.

Sad girl, her pleas were futile.

Sad girl, she warned you that you’d wind up dead.

Sad girl, your promises were all empty,

Sad girl, and so was your heart.

Sad girl, but the bottle was just too tempting,

Sad girl, you were fucked from the start.

Sad girl, don’t you remember the nights you spent on the bathroom floor?

Sad girl, or when you caught her mid heart attack to lay her on the cold tile?

Sad girl, another damn slam of the door,

Sad girl, couldn’t you just stay sober for awhile?

Sad girl, not much longer,

Sad girl, get your act together.

Sad girl, you need to get stronger,

Sad girl, or I promise it’ll haunt you forever.

Sad girl, you’re breaking her heart,

Sad girl, please go get some help.

Sad girl, you need to start,

Sad girl, don’t you care how she felt?

Sad girl, skin ice cold,

Sad girl, one last kiss.

Sad girl, these tears are getting old,

Sad girl, one soul you broke you’ll always miss.

Sad girl, now it’s too late,

Sad girl, how much liquor can you take.

Sad girl, no clean slate,

Sad girl, Grandma’s beautiful mistake.
