Mom Please Forgive Me
"Forgive Me Mom”
Mom please forgive me,
for all the bad I've done.
For all those nights you laid awake,
until I'd come tumbling in with the sun.
Mom please forgive me,
for all the hurtful words I've said.
For the times I made you worry so,
when you couldn't even get me out of bed.
Mom please forgive me,
for consuming all those drugs.
I am aware it would have been better,
if I would have accepted just one of your hugs.
Mom please forgive me,
for all the times I made you cry.
Watching me hold that razor blade,
making you think I wanted to die.
Mom please forgive me,
for the yelling, screaming and drama.
I just want to take it all back,
to when you wanted to be my mama.
Mom please forgive me,
for not being with you today.
I just couldn't bear to face it,
as they were taking your casket away.
