Mother's Dont Cry

12

and I will keep a brave face
and cry alone
no one to hold me now
it's me
a
l
o
n
e
and while I sway in silence
the voice is quiet now
I think of our lips
and how we've drifted
apart
I reach for hands on stormy beach shores
hoping maybe I'll find our love
somehow
I don't want to stay
I want to work on our issues
but being alone is your safe space
and mine is with you
but the quiet is so good now.
I think I can make do
I will walk away.
My pride at my feet.
I loved you unconditionally
and you helped me bloom.
Forever painful
Knowing you're a
knock
knock
knock
away...
lying in another room hoping you'll come in with something new to say
but your lips are sewn shut
have I done the stitching?
how do we fix this?
This can't be our ending
