Mother once told me

Mother once told me That everything was ok That there was another day For me to believe And feel relieved But nothing was ok. My mother would leave In the middle of the night Out of sight I would wait Waiting for my fate This other women would Come home, who Was not my mother. She had her look But that's not all it took. She stumbled, fumbled, And then crumbled. I stood and watched Holding my breath. She goes to sleep As I weep Where is my mother? Mother once told me That everything was ok That there was another day For me to believe And feel relieved But nothing was ok I see red and blue From my room There is a knock And I hear open up. I run to the door Barely touching the floor. I open up And what do I see A black creature with a shiny silver plate And eyes like dark sea. They don't say a word And walk right pass me I follow Feeling hollow They take way that women That came home Instead of my mother. Mother once told me That everything was ok That there was another day For me to believe And feel relieved But nothing was ok I stand barely moving I watch the women Get taken away. Maybe, we will see Each other that other day Trying to boo away any harms To protect me is my arms I stand there thinking Not even blinking Feeling numb Tearing cascade down my face I know cause I recognize the taste Then it hits me Like Jerry hits Tom Those creatures took Away my mom.
