5 long years

5 years ago,
On new years day,
Was the horrible time,
My mom was taken away.

We got out of the car,
We walked to the house,
You hugged me goodbye,
And went back to your spouse.

You pulled out of the driveway,
And I went inside,
Little did I know,
That was the last car ride,

That I'd ever take,
To see you again,
I miss you mommy,
I miss my friend.

You went back home,
And then never called,
Went out drinking,
That day, I thought the car stalled.

You and that man,
The one I never liked,
He told you to leave your kids,
That must be when you hiked.

5 long years it's been,
And now I find out,
There's no need to worry,
Or be in doubt.

When we finally found you,
And wrote to you,
You remembered your children,
And knew we cared too.

We knew you went out drinking,
And never came back,
We knew you still loved us,
But our hearts were in lack,

Of a mommy to hold us,
And keep us near,
To comfort the anger,
And dry up the tears.

For 5 long years,
We didn't know what to think,
Were you dead or alive,
Or did you just sink,

Into a life,
Of misery and pain,
Left all alone,
Left in nothing but vain.

It's been 5 long years,
And I want you to know,
I don't think badly of you,
I don't think your low.

I just want you back,
I forgive that you were gone,
I just want you to love me,
I just want my mom.
