Unsaid<br />
by Cate Cosgrove<br />
Mom, I think there’s someone in my<br />
head<br />
Speaking words I left unsaid<br />
Creeping thoughts that fill my mind,<br />
Seeping comments that seem unkind<br />
Mom, I think there’s something<br />
wrong<br />
Something hazy, something long<br />
Lasting hours, I start to fade<br />
These creeping thoughts won’t stay<br />
away<br />
Mom, I think I’ve strayed the path<br />
I’ve gone on long, I’m torn in half<br />
There’s something heavy sitting here<br />
Once distinct now seems unclear<br />
Mom, I’m running out of time<br />
I feel the past, it’s slipping fast<br />
I know this wouldn’t last<br />
When all along I never asked:<br />
Momma, is it okay?<br />
The heaven in your head?<br />
I haven’t seen you since that day<br />
You lay so pale in bed<br />
Momma, are you okay?<br />
You never got to say<br />
Everything happened in an instant<br />
I never knew I missed it<br />
Momma, was it okay?<br />
Those nights we spent apart<br />
I never knew what to say,<br />
I never had the heart<br />
Momma, is it okay?<br />
Tell me: are you safe?<br />
I wrote to you on Mother’s Day,<br />
That pain hasn’t gone away<br />
Momma, I am sorry<br />
For rambling on so long<br />
There’s so much that’s gone on<br />
It’s hard to be this strong<br />
Momma, I am sorry<br />
For crying all those times<br />
For not telling you I loved you<br />
When I thought it all those times<br />
Now I have to go,<br />
But Momma don’t forget<br />
I love you everyday<br />
As if you never left<br />
