How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

This poem is about abortion, though it’s not necessarily advocating for or against it. It talks about how a mother never really forgets about the babies that could have been and that she always loved them, even if she was the reason they are dead.

Stylistically, the poem is rich with rhyme, alliteration, repetition, and variations in line and stanza length. They call attention to various thematic elements, such regret, love, and emotional and physical distress.
