September 26

September 26, the world went cold The day I lost the heart I’ll never hold You’d smile and light up every room Now I sit here drowning in the gloom

I reach for your hand, it’s never there Just empty air and a silent prayer. Who would you be Would you laugh, would you cry? Would your voice still lift me up to the sky? Not a moment passes Without your memory near I’m left asking why you had to leave Why the world took away my guiding light Taken too soon, yeah Would you still hum your favorite song? Or tell me everything will be alright when I’m wrong? Would you see the person I’ve tried to be? Would you know how much I still need to see? One thing is certain, I’d give it all To hug you once more before the fall Who would you be? Would you smile like me, Or have your eyes staring back at me? Every heartbeat reminds me

That you’re not here to hold I keep wondering why fate was cruel Why my safe place, my home, my mom Was taken too soon. Every birthday, every holiday Feels hollow now that you’re away I replay the moments that slipped through But your love, Mom, still pulls me through. Not a moment passes Without your memory near The pain, the love, the emptiness I carry you with me, always, Mom Taken too soon, yeah. i love you mommy
