you were gone

i had to take your place
4 kids
including me
i didnt know how to behave
but i had to be brave
hid my tears
behind a smile
but in my eyes
the fears lied
"she's coming back"
"she'll be here soon"
heard knocks at the door
wishing it was you
but it wasnt
my heart dropped to my stomach
"they're here to take us away"
i heard my mind say
but a sigh of relief
escaped my being
couldnt believe
who it was i was seeing
Grandma came to take us
home
home with her
where we belong
days passed
time moved on
where were you?
you were gone.

HAPPY FUCKIN MOTHER'S DAY
