The Day Before You Died
The day before you died,
I lied on my bed, and I cried,
Breathing deep, face down to hide
All those feelings building up inside,
Knowing it was almost your time to go,
I told myself that I didn?t want to know,
I looked at the clock and began to plan,
The things I would say, my words began,
They started with a short good-bye,
And ended with one disgusting lie,
I told myself you wouldn't pass,
You would survive, and you would last,
I tried to convince myself of these things,
But the next day, I had a rude awakening,
I found myself at 6 AM,
On the floor, screaming at them,
The ones who told me the blatant truth,
I was wrong, you no longer have youth,
And now here I am, 5 years later,
A mother of none, no one's caretaker,
Wishing you were here to tell me what to do,
Missing your love, advice, but mostly you.
