Dear Mama
What was once a mere casualty became the same things that I miss gradually like that…
Glowing smile that would light up the room, I wont ever forget our walks Even the ability to pop up at your job just so that we can talk
I miss your laughs, and your cries
All the little things that gave me a reason to try
I miss that stern face that told me to stop,
I miss you showing me the real meaning of friends
Al woman, but taught me how to be a man
I don’t understand why God took you from me
He has to have something in store; I know it.
You told me to watch my brethren
Have to change my life if I wanna see you up in heaven
You were my drugs
In this sick as world you were my bandage, band-aid, Tylenol, NyQuil, and more
You made sure that the ones you pushed out wouldn’t fall
So Is it wrong that I’m still waiting on your call?
That at 7 I’m listening for the keys through the door
Or is it crazy that I’m thinking bout you more, that you left so long ago but it feel like yesterday, almost everyday
I’m hoping that it’s just a joke
Thinking one day On Facebook you will poke me
Maybe then I’ll realize that you were always here and you never left me lonely
I felt like God really took my one and only
I’m slipping, I feel like I’m going back to the old me
Cause lately I been feeling so alone
When you passed I was jumping from home to home
Looking for you even though I knew that you were gone
Mad at the world I even picked up a bone
I was Chilling on the streets just to gain honor
Sad to say, It was death before designer
See I felt if I had money that everything would be alright
and that the pain wouldn’t linger if I was up in the skies
Substance after substance it really was a disguise
You told me get closer to my family, I said alright
Looking back on it I knew that was a lie
Cause I said I would’ve done it knowing that I wouldn’t try.
I thought having you was all that I needed in life,
Thought that you’ll always be there to wipe the misery and strife.
I guess you understand why it’s Hennessey seeping out of my pores
Why I’m masking the time wasted by wearing this Michael Kors
If momma seen the way that I’m living I know she wouldn’t be fine
So even though you’re dead you are keeping me much alive
I mean I still am a human I’m making so many faults, but when I think about you, mama I seem to catapult.
Still a great mother cause of what you instilled in me
Dear Mama, I miss you but thank you for building me.
