I Still Cry
On August 12, 1998 my Mom died
All I know is that I cried
When I rushed from my new home in Edmond
All I did on the way there was cry
I got to the house and rushed to her room
And I saw that everyone was crying
I looked at her and saw the pale yellow in her skin
And all I could do was cry
I looked into her yellowish eyes, full of pain
And all I could do was cry
Then a single tear fell from her right eye
She took her last breath at 8:15 am
And all we could do was cry
The very next day I had to go to school
I was new, and sat alone at lunch and cried
Cancer took my Mom away
And still today I cry
