It’s been some time since you’ve been gone
I have yet to shed a tear
Instead I’m filled with anger
And it’s worsened through the year
I remember you in your death bed
It encompasses me in fear
How did you ever end up that way
Too young, yet no longer here
You surrounded yourself in anger
Bitterness and lies
Your memories were tainted
Forgiveness never tried
You never were a mother
And you left me lacking tools
I stumble through, like half a person
As I learn new sets of rules
For the things you taught just don’t add up
I’m left wandering, so numb
Why did you ever have me
What is yet to come?
Will I finally shed that lonely tear
I have searched for all this time
It does not seem so likely
I’ve looked but cannot find
I wish I could thank you for my life
For years of memories and joy
Instead I thank the Lord above
For sparing me more of you
