Blood Orphan

Likeness between us, distance there too
Strangers in passing, I hardly know you
Inherited features, grief and guilt
The name I bear was a gift from you

Shared blood but not words
The silence is deafening
Shared blood but not words
The silence is deafening

Drifting away
Hollow, estranged
Like bodies in graves
We start to decay

This cross you bear will not weigh me down anymore
