CAME TO YOU

CAME TO YOU
written by me after my mama died (2006)

I came to you, heartbroken and alone. I took your hand in mine, warm to the touch. I assured you everything was going to be alright, even though my heart did not feel that same reassurance. I told you countless times that I loved you with all of my being, but even that didn't bring you to me. I lay with you, cried for you, laughed for you, trying to be strong for you. But in the end you still went away.

I came to your side once more. This time I was afraid, afraid of the unknown. You were so far away yet still there. This time your skin, cold to the touch. I wept for you, tried to hide my pain behind a mask, and felt such unbearable sadness. Why did you have to leave? Why did you leave me alone in the world?

I came to you again, but you were not there...
