Last night I killed my farther
And it was not out of rage
Was not the fact that to him
I was a mere boy by my age
Last night I killed my farther
And it was not for his wealth
Nor material gains or things
To obtain due to his demising
Health
Last night I killed my farther
To stop a fountain of tears
To cease a flow that had gone
On for many years
Last night I killed my farther
To bring about an end
To see the day start peacefully
And my mother not have to defend
Last night I killed my farther
And it was not out of rage
For time had taken its toll on
Me of this I cannot pretend
Last night I killed my farther
And I slept so peacefully
For such knowledge could do
Nothing than set me mind
And soul free
Last night I killed my farther
And I quietly laid down to rest
Knowing that in my heart of hearts
That I had always done the best
Last night I killed my farther
And to him it was no surprise
For he read my true intentions
By just looking in my eyes
Last night I killed my farther
By breaking his lonely heart
When I told him that from his
Company I was now ready to
Depart
Last night I killed my farther
As I slowly turned away
Knowing that no spoken word
Would ever make me stay
Last night I killed my farther
As I closed the door on his world
I heard him fall but did not turn
For my heart would form no words
