My Mother, My Baby

Nothing matters anymore
The world has just exploded
I am empty inside
As if my body has just imploded
Cherry sits on my lap
As lifeless as I am
Stiller than my heart seems to beat
She cries silent tears
Hugs her terrible mother
And slowly drifts away from what used to be me
I try to be strong for her
Because now I am the only thing she has
But how can I do that when I've just lost
Everything I had?
I starve now so that she can eat all of what's left
Since I can't bring myself to cook or even look at myself
Cherry has become a mother to me
As I suffer from our terrible loss
It's such a shame that I rely on my baby
To do everything that was once my job
I'll snap out of it soon
But only to keep her alive
Because the words "most likely temporary"
Can always turn out to be a lie
