Mother
Drugs, drinks, and driving
Driving your life down the wrong path.
Stalling, staying, and sticking
Sticking to the life you knew best,
But where are you now?
A mother of two children.
A mother of many demons.
Vices consumed with no delay.
Giving up your children with no delay.
Where are you now?
Once a month, if time allows,
Seeing you in front of me.
Who I see I no longer know.
Who is this woman who has come to be?
Oh mom where are you now?
15 years ago my life split in two,
Living with my mom, visiting my dad.
10 years ago my life flipped,
Living with my dad, visiting my mom.
After the battle, where are you know?
5 years ago my love grew numb.
Seeing her slip away was too painful.
1 day ago I thought of her.
Only one question remained.
Where are you now?
