Sorry

My parents taught me to be strong,

Day and night we worked on a stronger me,

Despite it all, this is what I've become.

Good Enough

I don't have a reason why you're not good enough

Your funeral; She will love me

The songs sung by crickets

As she cried in that dark morning

The songs sung by crickets

As she shook my mother frail body.

Mint

Rock me like a baby
Gently, take me out for a walk
Sing to me your favourite song
Tell me that mint tea was delicious
These are all the things you didn't do.

Saved?

Banter and laughter
Then a surprise ring from you
My smile was hopeful.

I everyday

Walk to the seaside for you

In my dreams you came.

Pride

I can see my end

Drowning in the midst of sea

Reached hand, untaken.
