Baby Killer

Your face is cut in stone
Your heart immune to feeling
When you can see your breath
And let nature do the killing
All sense of guiltiness
Numbed by the frozen air
Forgotten lust for life
When you keep a lifeless stare
The bitter wind blows fiercer
Your sad thoughts quicken your pace
Your mistake left in the snow
With Death crawling on its face
Regret and sympathy
Lost in your selfish lies
Blinded from hope with darkness
And deafened to the baby’s cries
Your mind seeks sanctuary
Your heart yearns for confession
As frostbite seals a tortured fate
Two live destroyed in succession
