My Mom Is Gone
My eyes water when I think of her
I want to go back to the way things were
I see her face in my dreams
It’s all so fake how life seems
I look up at the beautiful sky
Talking to the lord asking why
Asking why he took my mom
Still not facing the fact she’s gone
She left the 13th of September
That’s the day I’ll always remember
I feel like ripping out my spine
Out of all the mothers in the world why mine?
My heart burns like fire
It burns love and also desire
Desire for love and desire for care
I’ve searched for these things and they are not there
I’d used to think I’d always hate
I’d found I’d go crazy at that rate
I close my eyes and think of home
I open them and I am all alone
Although I’m alone I’m not scared
Waiting for my mother, though she’s never there
I have pain that never stops
I wish someone was there to share my teardrops
When I awake I feel so refreshed
I think of my mom and catch my breath
