Memory lane

Standing in the pouring rain.
Tears flowing down her delicate cheeks.
Gazing at what was once her lane.
Flash backs of her counting down the weeks.

Until she could leave that terrible place.
She couldn't wait to move far away.
She'd attempt to forget all the memories.
Though they were too hard to erase.
She didn't want to hear those painful words her mother would say.

Her touch was cold.
So was her heart.
" I hate you" is all she was told.
Everything fell apart.

Years later she got married.
Her life was great.
She let go of all the pain she once carried.
She became pregnant, she couldn't wait.

She couldn't wait to hold her little baby in her arms.
She promised she'd never leave her child's side.
She'll keep her child away from harm.
Be it's loving mother, be its guide.

Her mother was wrong.
She said she'd never make it.
But she always stayed strong.
Her mother said any guy shes with, they would just split.

Her mothers the one that's alone.
She sits at home and drinks.
No one calls her on the phone.
She sits there and thinks.

She asked herself what she did wrong.
In her rocking chair she stays wasting it all away.
drinking her life away.
She tried to reach out to her, she waited to long.
Theres nothing she can say.

Walking down memory lane
Through the window her mother stands with a smirk on her face.
She walks away, knowing now shes in a better place.
