left alone
Dear Mom,
You said you'd always be there
But you're nowhere to be found
I can't believe you left me
I feel so low beneath the ground
There's nothing I can do now
I trusted you with all my heart
But now you're gone
You're the one who tore my life apart
I've learned not to trust
There's nothing more to say
You've lost someone special
You can't get back each day
Now you're the one left in the dark
And all of a sudden you feel my pain
You expect me to take you back
But you still feel you're not to blame
I could never forgive you
Even if I tried
You can never make up
For the lonely nights I've cried
You will never know the feeling
Of losing the person you need the most
To laugh and cry and love you
Instead of making you feel like a ghost
I've moved on with my life
Without you by my side
My pain has kept so long
I'm telling you how I feel inside
In a way I want to thank you
Because of you I'm strong
I just wanted you to know
I didn't turn out wrong
