Mama, Don’t Go

Richelle is a mom of 3 kids, learning to mother while emotionally and physically motherless. She writes about all things healing.

Sorrowed wrinkles across your face

Light reflects out of your sunken eyes

Looking at me, but beyond me

Never really seeing who I am

Sometimes here, sometimes gone

Its only you for who I long

Sorrow sinks, light reflects

I really never know what to expect

Love is conditional, never really earned

Maybe I’ll crack the code

And you will return

Don’t leave me, mama

Don’t go away

I’ll be good a little longer

Promise you will stay
