MOTHER


Mother is this sanity or a bleeding heart

Is this section of your life to painful to endure

When did you feel the slipping start

Was this the final part

Of life and love, the cruellest blow

Your mind gave up, the curtains came

You looked inside and had to blame

I see you know with blinkered eyes

I see you now with no surmise

The pain of loss deep in your soul

You need me now, but its too cold

I am too real of what you’ve lost

You'd take it back at any cost

You wish your death as soon as soon

To escape the life of ultimate doom

Your pain is etched inside my mind

Our hearts entwine, our pain immense

The things you say are never meant

Although the trail of your harsh words

Are etched inside this mortal soul

I forgive you now, i forgive you then

All I wanted was to be your friend

To comfort you, to make you see

That life is not this purgatory

Of untrue love and broken hearts

You never heard you never would

I guess I never really understood

Your time will come to live again

I wish you joy and many friends

A wealth of love. a wealth of fame

Never to suffer any pain

I love you now and I loved you then

I will sign off now your one true friend
