Dear La-Zette

I looked up to you and turned out just like you You let everyone take advantage of you, me too You didn't ask for anything in return It went on for years and you still never learned How could you be so strong? Trying to fit in where you didn't belong I loved the way you looked me in the eyes Telling me you loved me as you began to cry How could you be proud of me? I didn't even graduate, I got my GED Now that I need you, you won't answer the phone You won't even open the door to come home My life has been so painful in the last year I need you more now than ever mother dear No hugs, no kisses, no late night talks No more going in town, no more walks How can you leave your own child behind? Leaving me in this world to seek and find You promised you'd always be there You said this while brushing my hair In the last year, I got married and it fell apart He committed adultery, got caught, and broke my heart I need some advice on what to do I need you to help pull me through Again you said you'd never leave, never say goodbye You broke your promise, but at least I know why I miss you MOMMY, I miss your touch God tell her I love her, tell her how much
