Dear Mom,
I've been wanting to say
I'm sorry for the tears I caused you
I never meant to fail you
I've just wanted to be all you dreamt me to be
Dear Mom,
I'm beginning to forget the past
The screaming in the night
It's fading with time
I've only wanted more . . .
So much more than the man on the moon
While you sleep, I close my eyes and fly away
Soar so high I'm touching the sky
And the pain I feel inside. . .
It's burning away
I'm just so tired
Tired of being what's expected of me
Dear Mom. . .
Dear Mom,
I've almost forgotten your soft whispers
The faint kiss of your lips against my cheek
They're fading, drifting away with each setting sun
Help me remember
Remember the faces I'm beginning to forget
I'll gather the pieces of my life up
But some have scattered to far
Flew so high when I threw them away. . .
I'm sorry
Dear Mom,
I know you believed me when I said it was over
You stood by me, patiently waiting
And I. . .
I closed my eyes as I walked away
