#5 of heart break

    Three attempts they did try 
    Three attempts my oh my
    While I lay in bed asleep 
    Upstairs they begin to creep
    
    Sister tried a bat to the head
     Thought for sure he was dead
    Woke next morning only to see
    He was eating breakfast with me
    
    Next attempt ended with a frown
    Took him swimming and tried to drown
     Jumped on top while he was under
    He was too strong, it was a blunder
    
    Third attempt was very real
    Was to poison his favorite meal
    Picked wild plants to make him sick
    Found some that kill real quick
    
    We sat at the table; watch him eat 
    Then mom took us out for a treat
    He will be dead before we get home
    From his mouth should spew foam
    
    We walked in and what a sight
    Mom's face frozen with fright
    It just made him sick and weak
    Mom whispered this mans a freak
    
    Three attempts I thought it was done
    Until she came to me and said "Son"
    Have to help us, you have to please
    She cried out, your sister agrees
    Without you we cannot succeed
    Please son help us, with our need
    
    I said "no way, I will be no part"
    She cried like I broke her heart
    If you don't help, if you don't help me 
    I will do it myself and then you will see
    When it's done my life will end too
    For I will take it and they will blame you
    
    No don't do that, I will try
    I said to her as I began to cry
    I will kill father, this I will do
    I will kill him, because I love you
    
    This is my story, this is true 
    Not made up, no lie I spew
    I was tricked and used by love
    Someday I hope the heavens above
    Will forgive me for my sins
    Until than my hell begins
    
    Until that day that I decease
    My soul is judged, than released
    I have to do right, I have to live
    I have to teach myself to forgive
    Forgive the one that hurt me so
    Forgive myself, this I know
