A tear drop falls to hit the floor
Shattered hearts burdened by hurt
I walk myself out the front door
My mind numbed from the pain of loss

Walking away from everything I knew
Trying not to think about the pain
I hid beneath the falsehoods of a better day
But I knew deep inside my life had changed

Years echo through time my mind wanders
I dream about days where I hadn't left
Hearing her call for me down the stairs
Smelling the aroma of her cooking meals

I miss those days I had without a care
Now I am burdened with this pain I feel
For never had I known what this would be like
Never would I had ever turned my back

Too many years have spun by
And here I am trapped in a world of lies
The only memory I have left of her
Is the cry that came as I left her standing there

Here I am fighting for my life
The pain of losing her before I said 'goodbye'
I will never again get that chance
To tell her that I love her one last time

So this is for you my dear mother
I write now the feelings I have shared with no other
To remember the loss that I felt that day
A thousand miles away I still heard that cry

You passed from this Earth too soon mother
I never got that chance to tell you I'm sorry
To give you that hug you needed for so very long
And kiss you on the cheek and a tell you 'it's ok'

I guess we will never know what would have happened
If only I had stayed home that day
I atleast would have gotten to say
That I love you mom in every single way
