Mom.

Only one chance was given,
To persuade her mind
-If she takes one step further
She takes one step behind. -

What's stopping her is real.
Afraid of what she'll miss.
What if crying all the time
Was saving her from this?

You never know what you've lost
Until you've lost what's gone
The only hope that's left
Always goes so wrong.

Just wanting to feel loved
Tired of feeling pain
The tears that she has cried
Just remain the same

A new life has just begun
And she feels so alone
Not wanting to forgive
Yet wanting to go home.

What she misses,
Is what she fears,
Knowing all her life
She's been fighting back her tears.

But if she just forgives
Will things ever change?
Or will there still be chaos
Making life so strange.

Not wanting to take any chances
She puts her fears behind
Hoping that some day,
Her life can be defined.
