Her Last Breath

The last bit of hope
Escaped her windpipe
Through spaces in your hold
You’re strengthening your choke
With no intention to let go
She’s begging for her life
And you won’t listen to her cries
Your daughter, your blood
Given up to save the honor of your god
Reassured by a book your cause is strong
It’s fucked you’re not alone
Thinking you’re right and she is wrong
Goodbye
Goodbye
Only you deserve that fate
Only you deserve to die
Condemning her was evil
But still it felt so fair
False freedom from oppression
The danger was still there
No remorse or emotion
You stared with careless eyes
Every night you’ll hear your daughter’s voice echoing
You extinguished her light
The guilt that follows will last forever
Goodbye
And I can’t help but wonder
When will it happen next
Will there be scars?
And will there be regret?
Will these girls be able to live without a threat?
Because we didn’t know them doesn’t mean that we’ll forget
