Mommy Blues

by | Oct 31, 2023 | Poetry

Mommy left me all alone, all alone
striated my soul and left me lonesome
Yes, Mommy left me all alone, all alone
At age sixteen with all the memories evoked
How could you leave me to carry on alone
I’ll be okay without your residence

Daddy told me you loved me and I’ll be okay
But I don’t know if I can withstand another day
Daddy told me you loved me and I’ll be okay
But how could you do me in such a cruel way
But mommy you’re the one who walked away

Every night I cry and pray that you will return
I just don’t think that god hears my cries at all
Yes, every night I cry and pray that you will return
I’m just so disenchanted in the outcome
I will be strong because I’m in a strong girl

The day that you return I will rejoice
I just want to know when that day will come
The day that you return I will rejoice
everyday I look out the window and wish you would appear
But every car that drives by never stop or reappear

How could you leave me mommy
I will never fathom why you left me all alone
Just, how could you leave me mommy
Your pretty young daughter who needs you
I will cry out to you in my dreams
But in phenomenon I’m abandoned by you
