Missing Home

Late nights alone light flickers dim

Silence screaming loud within

Empty chair at the kitchen table

Echoes of her voice still here

Familiar warmth feels so near

Mama I miss you I miss you bad

Every laugh every fight we had

Mama I need you I need you now

Lost in the dark show me how

The smell of your cooking haunts the air

The way you’d hum like you didn’t care

I’d roll my eyes but now I’d kill for that

Mama I miss you I miss you bad

Every laugh every fight we had

Mama I need you I need you now

Lost in the dark show me how

Letters unsent words I’ll never say

Time’s a thief that took you away

But in my dreams you’re still the same
