Mom & Dad

Mama

How could you just slip away

Like that...

Leaving me with just...

The last sound of your voice

I didn't get to...

Hold your warm hand

Kiss the top of your forehead

Mama I feel like I lied...

In the beginning...

I told you it would be alright 

How could you just vanish

And I not say 

Thank you...

How could you leave...

And I not say...

Just how much I've treasured you

The world may not be the same without you 

Mine is laying with you

 

Today's sun doesn't seem as radiant 

Last night's moon cried 

As the winds grieved your passing

The heavens cried just as I

As earth gave comfort

By carrying our tears away

Dad

The only man that could

Relate to me at this very moment 

We lost the same woman

At the same time

She was the love of our lives

Damn dad!

I need you now!

I need you more than I ever did

Unfortunately you had a need for mom

More than desire to live without her

But you promised me...

Dad!

You promised me you'd be okay!

I don't care if this sounds selfish 

Why did you have to leave me...

The very next day

Because right now I more than miss you

I feel lost without mom and you

Today's sun doesn't seem as radiant 

Last night's moon cried 

As the winds grieved your passing

The heavens cried just as I

As earth gave comfort

By carrying our tears away
