Not teaching my kids
to mimic but nice to hear...
You never walked out on me
stayed in the very next room...
Candle burning in the window at night
draws me into the halo of light...
Don't you try to understand me
For you cannot and never will...
My eyes are propped with matchsticks
I haven't slept for weeks...
Hey up Mam!
I know you are not here...
A wise person once said
(And it made sense to me...
When we traced together
the dusty contours of memories...
The times when you saw me smile
the moments of sharing hugs...
I'm a whisper in a dark room
where my words spark smoke...
And the rain is falling.
I watch you going inside this house...
Time seems like it's flying,
You're growing up so fast...
