A Broken Man
I look around and all I see
Are people looking back at me,
Going along in their daily routine
I want to be hidden but yet I’m seen,
I want to push the world away
And close my eyes till I see you one day,
The day you left was the day I dread
I try and try but it won’t leave my head,
You was my mum but I called you Nan
I loved you like no other can,
You took a piece of me as you slept
From the depths of my heart where you was kept,
I feel like memories are fading and weak
With every tear that rolls down my cheek,
I’m a broken man inside a shell
Hiding the world from my internal hell,
Nothing I hear and nothing I do
Eases the days I’m missing you,
I love you Nan with all my heart
I never thought we would be apart,
Your in a place where your at peace
No more pain is something at least,
I’ll hold my head up your strong tall son
Until you greet me my special mum
