Mommy

Weeping softly alone in the rain. Heart broken, can you feel the pain? The wind blows gently through my hair, I turned around and you were there. You were not who I expected to see, But I was glad to know, you were with me. That is when everything falls apart. Another break in my fragile heart. You walked out the door, just walked away, Promising to return the following day. Months came and then they went, You never came, I silently wept. Then you came back suddenly one day, And wiped my tears gently away. Healthy and happy you seemed to be, That itself seemed strange to me. Before I knew it, you were gone. I was left behind singing the same old song. The tragic pattern only stays the same, Except every time I feel more pain. I had almost everything, as I recall. Minus the one thing I wanted, most of all. I waited so patiently for you, What I wanted, you had no clue. For some reason I sit and wait, Although it is already too late. I have missed out on nothing other, Than to know what its like, to have a mother.
