Grim Reminders of a Forgotten Yesterday
Your happy smile it haunts my memory
A sweet reminder of the pain forged from treachery
But still I reach for you with tainted limbs
Will I never outgrow childish whims?
Why did you leave us here alone?
To grow up in shame without a home
The licking flames they did erase
Our childhood haunt, your favorite place
This road I forged with blood and tears
Oh how long for those cherished years
For you I bow my head and calmly pray
I know I will keep fighting, losing every step of the way
But for your sake, how could I not
If only you we had not sought
Yet still I march with furrowed brow
Through sweat and pain, I will not bow
To your new form, or familiar face
You care for me now not a trace
And so, back to the gate you go
By my hands, this pain, you will never know
Goodbye,
Mother
Thank you for reading and please review ;)
