Mi Madre

My mind is filled with thoughts of you

When the sun rises on a day so blue

And when at night it’s hard to sleep

Because your presence, I greatly miss.

I think of days so long ago

I cared about just me and you

On rainy days and summer nights

We never left each other’s side.

I think of you when you can’t remember

Those days so fair like late September

I think of you until it hurts

Til no tears left and laughter bursts.

I think of thoughts that cannot be

Far to reach, impossible to see

Waiting for you feels like forever

And day by day hope seems to wither.

To hear your voice oceans apart

Confuses me, where do I start

Like a stranger I knew long ago

Or like a friend who became a foe.

Promises were words I wasn't familiar

I only believed in things peculiar

And I only believed in words you've said

Til this day they’re in my head.

I think of you when I shouldn't be

Things just become unclear to me

Daybreak often finds me sobbing 

The night hears me deeply sighing.

I smile at thoughts we used to share

To make believe that life is still fair

But now I’d always catch myself wondering

Over the things that have no meaning.

I think of times we had small talks

I think of days we went for long walks

They come to mind when I’m alone

Now all I see is an empty home.

I never thought one day you’d leave

And that day came, it was hard to believe

How much longer will this continue?

When will life be brighter than blue.

See i'm always longing to see your face

Always clouded with endless wishes

Always wondering when is the day 

That you'll come back and forever stay.

P.S. just...come home soon...
