The last time I seen you,
You told me something
A smile began to form out of the creases of your lips
Wrinkles began to form in that forehead of yours
"I Love You," you said
Eyes, a bit drained, and at the sound of your voice, I knew. Yeah, I knewΒ Β 
I begun to fight the tears flooding in the depths of my eyes.
My life flashes before me, all memories lying in the Alcatraz of my thoughts begin to replay
Daddy please, this can't be true
You grab my wrist and pull me in
But all I want to do now is flee from this greed that haunts in me

My knees fail me, and your arms where huge
Wrapped around me with warmth, the equator to my soul
The mind to my temple runs blank
Empty, slate, like an open journal waiting for pen to fill it's lines.
Hearing becomes impaired, and I just give up
My gut fills with bile and now I feel sick
Thoughts, again, flourish in my head, and nostalgia takes over.
Half of me is gone, and now life itself feels wrong
Where all I want to do is crawl into a cave of despair just to be numb to the world and watch time pass me by.

I took her for granted, and I regret all the fights that grew upon the disagreement that made its path from my tender thoughts I had given life.
My words became daggers to your heart, and I knew it hurt.
And I'm sorry

For her, my life I would most definitely give back
Although it is not mine to actually give away
I'd give her my life for her to stay on this earth.
Because, her worth meant more to me than the stars in he sky
Which makes me wonder, why?
Why her?
This motivation
This beauty in disguise
This fallen angel
My mom.
