Mom
time has changed
since you've been gone.
Without the light you provid me
I've become a bat not seeing
how blind I've become I have to
learn to fly without you
I'm a bat in a bird's nest.
I'm the swan thinking
I'm ugly because I'm not a duck.
I'm a palm tree thinking I'm a red oak.
I'm becoming something I'm not
and needing you more than ever.
If only you had eyes to read this,
then maybe you'll understand
I haven't been the same since you left.
Since the rocket my astronaut was
flying crashed in the atmosphere.
It's been 900 days since you left me
here on this unknown planet.
It's been 900 days and
if I've made it 900 days without you
I can make it 900 days more.
