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
