I had a horrific dream
I woke up crying because
Mom was still alive when Dad was dying
and he rejected Mom
I woke up crying because
Dad was coerced by a desperate stranger
and he rejected Mom
for a hand-flapping liar
Dad was coerced by a desperate stranger
he cast aside the love of his life
for a hand-flapping liar
Dad was declared insane
he cast aside the love of his life
Mom was still alive when Dad was dying
Dad was declared insane
I had a horrific dream
