Living in Virginia

Living in Virginia,
thousands of miles away from my mom,
i refuse to communicate with her,
calling & calling me i ignore every one,
not caring to talk to her,
until she gets help with her addiction.

Months pass,
my best friend convinces me to call her,
my mom hears my voice,
saying oh baby I've missed you so much,
i can tell shes crying,
tears start pouring out my eyes,
saying i miss you too mom.

Not knowing,
a month later she would pass,
we talked everyday,
non stop i love you texts,
planning a surprise visit to see her,
willing to do anything just to be with her again.

Calling her over 20 times,
not one response,
thinking this isn't like her,
why isn't she replying,
finally at 4 am,
two new texts saying call me i need to talk to you,
getting them in the morning,
she never responds back.

Almost a day goes by,
no word from my mom,
my dad comes home,
lets me know your mothers dead,
tears pour out of my eyes,
my gut feeling being right all along,
thousand of miles away,
trying tough love to get her to stop,
i lost my mom instead.

Living in Virginia,
thousands of miles away from my mom,
i regret moving away,
wishing i had stayed,
that maybe just maybe,
she'd be alive,
but being grateful,
i talked to her before she passed away.
