Magic Mommy or a Grand Illusion

Mommy was magic and
she made bad things disappear,
like the many booboos, she kissed
and the monsters under my bed,
but then, she drank that magic witches brew,
that made daddy disappear
and one day after school, when I came home.
the police were there with daddy,

deadserious.com

who said mommy is not coming home,
she is in heaven now,
so, she disappeared in a car accident,
and how did she do that?
