In the Corner

I go to the wall and I see your name

As I crouch in the corner I know there is no one to blame,

This is life you are born and then you die

As I stare at your picture it makes me cry,

There is nothing in this world that will ever fill

The void in my life as you stay so still,

I knock on the wall knowing you are there

Wanting you to knock back and say I care,

I crouch in the corner and pretend it is all just a dream

My mind knows it is real but, my heart wants to scream,

I sense you there in the beautiful gray bed

Knowing one day you and mother will be head to head.
