It seemed like a joke last night,
Didn't it Momma?
The lies seeping from within clenched teeth
Pleading, begging, lying,
How do you deal with the pain
How do you Momma?
How do you pretend life goes on
When it stopped dead cold five days ago
You act like you're doing fine,
But your eyes lie Momma
Dark circles cling to the underneath
And red rims water hesitantly
But we laughed anyway, Momma
Because laughing away the pain
Was easier than crying about it
