You

It’s been a few years since YOU were taken away
and I was wondering if you ever think of me
I don’t know if little angels remember the ones they’ve left behind 
or if they ever take a look just to see
what becomes of a broken heart
that’s never had a chance to mend
What’s left for a mother to do
when she no longer has a child to tend
How am I supposed to live 
when I have lost the will
Because I’m so overwhelmed
Missing YOU still

There are so many memories of the good times we shared
They seem to always bring a smile to my face
Eyes of laughter, eyes of love no longer beaming at me
They’ve gone far away, without a trace
Tell me what can I do just to deal with the pain
It’s got me aching so bad, it sometimes hard to maintain
How am I supposed to cope
I don’t know what to do
When my mind is so consumed
With thoughts of YOU

As I’m writing these words, the tears are falling down my face 
As I reflect on the best time in my life
Although a few years have gone by, it often seems like yesterday
That my heart felt like it was cut into pieces with a knife
Tell me how long will it take
Before I’m finally at peace
And tell me what I must do
To cause my heartache to cease
Am I being repaid
for some wrong that I’ve done
I feel like I’m living in a world of darkness
…with no sun

The only comfort I have is knowing that YOU are safe
And as happy as YOU could ever be
Hopefully, one day we’ll see each other again
And I hope that YOU will remember me
As the one who gave YOU birth
And who would do anything for YOU
I’ve loved YOU more than life itself
And I know YOU loved me too
I will love YOU always
No matter how much time goes by
And I will never stop loving YOU
Even when I die
