Mom
My dearest mom you’ve left me
Standing all alone,
My bodies numb and weak
I don’t know my way home.

You left without a warning
You didn’t say goodbye,
We visited you on Sunday
You seemed happy you seemed fine.

Now I’m lying in this room
I’m missing you so much,
My heart begins to race
And the tears begin to rush.

I long to hear your voice
I long to see your smile,
All I want is to talk to you
Just for a little while.

You are the one that gave me life
Your blood flows through my veins,
From our thick hair to our pinkie toes
We are both the same.

I guess the big man needed you
So from this world you left,
But you didn’t leave empty handed
Our hearts are what you kept.

I don’t know how to move on
But I know you’d want me to,
I do know however that as long as I live
I will be missing you.
