Broken

Glass from the mirror Shattered on the floor, She doesn't know If she can do it anymore. Her heart has been broken And it’s impossible to fix, Her body is bruised all over Like she’d been hit with bricks. A broken bottle Lays on the ground, All she remembers Is the sound. The sound of her children crying out “Mommy don’t leave”, There’s so much more She wanted to achieve. But she chose the life To drink every day, Now she’s dying And doesn't realize she Wasted her life away. She cries the last minutes Before she passes away, There’s a few word’s She wants to say. “Lord, please forgive me For I have sinned, Take me with you To begin a new life again. I've made mistakes In my past, But I promise you This will be my last”. Next day comes around and Her kids walk in the door, They see their mother’s body Laying cold on the floor. Beside her is a note To them; she wrote, “My dearest children Who read this, I’m so sorry I left this way But I don’t want you to be sad on this day. I’m in a better place now With the Lord up above, Just call my name and I’ll be there within a blink of an eye You’ll always have my heart, and all of my love”. Xoxoxo Mom

Thats hard to read, being a mom, and my father leaving that way, your words make an impact and hope that others will know the emotions that follow are hard ones to swallow
