Better Days

As I kid, I always saw

The light in every soul

Looking love in a broken home

He left when I was young.

Rainy days and stormy nights

Blooming from the past

I learn how to survive

Without holding your hand.

Cause broken promises were made.

I don't know how to forget

The man who said I was enough

But left the minute he felt not.

Your embrace gets colder

with every passing year.

I don't even remember

the color of your eyes.

Your alcohol morning breath

it's a smell I can't erase.

You were always lost on thought

Looking for better days.
