Mommy
Your eyes twinkle like the starry twilight,
Captivating me like the harvest moon.
The bittersweet smell of autumn’s monsoon
Lingering in my bedroom overnight,
While I’m by myself in the dead of night
Reminds me of how you left me so soon
To travel the country chasing Neptune.
Your true entity revealed in limelight.
Oh, how I wish you hadn’t run away.
So you couldn’t come back blaming me
And there would have never been another.
Oh, how I wish you’d had the guts to stay.
So you wouldn’t have to come in and see
That you could’ve been a better mother.
