They told me I'd be fine..

but where is the line

from, "things just take time",

to, "I’ll never be the same again".

It’s a shame

they play the blame game,

Why aim the pain

when no one is okay?

So alone I sit to pine away.

They told me I would be fine.

...someday maybe, but lately

I feel like I am fading away,

memories graze me faintly,

I am touched by my own frailty

and think so deeply

about life’s vanity.

They told me I would be fine.

But the sands of time

pass us by,

through the hourglass,

without even our second glance.

How many others just begging

for a second chance

to change the past,

erase the bitterness

and their stubborn stance,

and turn it into an

open hand to grasp.

Lord, all I would ask, is to give

her just one more breath,

so I could say that I forgive

and would love to live

our life over again.

but the fault is all mine,

because the truth is,

I never even tried,
before my mother died.

So my friend, don't look behind,

for now is the time
that you must change your mind.

(Inspired by a teenager who
lost her mother too soon)
