[her_mom_died]

Let me start by saying
I made it through another day
It isn’t getting easier
Like most people say

I woke up and remembered
That my life is so off track
I looked in the bathroom mirror
And saw her eyes staring back

Everyday is a constant reminder
That my mom has gone away
When does the forgetting began
I can’t handle another day

A song came on the radio
It was sad and made me cry
It was about a little girl
Whos mommy was starting to die

A little boy at the grocery store
Shopping with his mom
They looked so happy together
My heart wouldn’t stay calm

Every single holiday is dreaded
Waking up without her here
You hold those you love closer
Death a constant fear

It was hard enough this time
Let alone it happening again
Its bad enough my heart has broken
I need some time to mend

Whoever said it gets easier
Please come and show me the way
Hold my hand and guide me there
I can’t do this another day
