mom

When I was little you would hold me tight,
As I grew older, we too grew apart.
What happened to art projects and acting crazy?
Plastic baby dolls and tea parties?

What happened to being able to talk to each other no matter what?
It seems like all we do now is scream and yell at each other,
When once we always agreed on things we now differ as much as night and day,
Long time best friends have turned into mortal enemies.

What happened between us, we used to get along so well?
Why do all our words fall to silence, left unspoken, not even implied?
We used to be so close and now we are strangers,
We don’t even know each other’s favorite color.

I wish I was little again and we were friends,
I miss you mom,
I’ll probably never admit it to your face or even imply it,
But I will always miss and love you.

I wish you would live long enough to see me get married,
That your heart wasn’t failing and you weren’t dying,
I still need you mom,
I never got the chance to say that I love you, please don’t die.
