Mother-
You said you’d always be there
You’d be my shoulder to lean on
While my feelings I’d share
But today you weren’t there
When I needed my shoulder
I was left all alone with no one to care
You said you’d always be there
You’d soothe me
While my frustrations I share
But today you weren’t there
When I needed to be soothed
I was left all alone with no one to care
You said you’d always be there
You’d calm me down
While my fears I’d share
But today you weren’t there
When I needed to be calmed
I was left all alone with no one to care
You said you’d always be there
You’d hold me tight
While death itself I’d share
But today you weren’t there
When I needed to be held
I was left all alone with no one to care
Why weren’t you there?
Why was today different?
And why didn’t I have you to hold me while I died?
