Mother Dear
Two am and something's gone wrong here.
It looks like I have drank all my wine, "I'm so thirsty", I can't
wait for tomorrow.
No shame, I shall drink Listerine.
Six am, this drink has me weary, I'm wasted, but my well has run dry.
To the liquor store, I walk down to the corner, I'm early and it's raining but I still wait there outside.
Mother dear, I am sorry I failed you, but your son has a thorn in his side.
When I was young you had such expectations, intentions, were not for you to cry.
Father sir, tell me why did you leave us?
A coward, man you ran off to hide.
I'm sorry sir that I never have met ya.
But if it were now, well, you surely would die.
Throughout my life I have made many wrong turns, I found my way although I cheated and lied.
I hurt someone who once told me she loved me,
and burnt the bridge as I left her behind.
The days are long as my train travels slowly,
closer, toward the end of it's line.
I made my choice and stand by my decision.
Denying remorse but with tears in my eyes.
