I can rearrange this room
all I want to
But still all I see is you
lying on that bed
Taking your last breath
It's a difficult image to shake
I make the best of my days, sure
Yet each day I walk through this door
still hoping to see your face
but instead I am faced
with a harsh reminder
Your hands are no longer mine to hold
Your soul no longer resides in this home
You are gone
Saying those three words hits me deep within
And before I even know it I begin
to cry
My eyes well up with tears
All these years I took fore granted that you'd always be here
I should have taken advantage
of every hug, every kiss
Every opportunity I missed
to tell you how much I love you
How I appreciated everything you went through
just to care for me....
You were always the one who was there for me Mommy
How do I replace
this empty space that occupies my heart?
How do I repair that which was torn apart when you left?
How do I forget this pain inside
that comes at night when no ones around?....
How do I live without
the one who made life worth living?
I don't know, but I promise I'm giving
it my all
When I fall, I try not to stay there
Although at times my heart cannot bear the hurt
It goes on beating
Believing that one day it'll all make sense
Until then.....
