Analysis of A Letter To Mom



There's a hole, where once was my heart,
When you left, I feel apart.
I cry cause I need you, but you are gone,
And life without you, is hard to live on.
When things are bad, I cry to you,
But your not there, so it's hard to do.
You always listened, when I was sad,
And now all I do is cry, and even get mad.
I wished you was here with me,
But all I can do, is feel empty.
Sometimes I want to leave here,to be with you,
But even then, there's things here I still have to do.
So all I can do, is sit here and cry,
Til I get my wings and fly.
Til the day comes, when we can fly together,
Hopefully things, can only get better.
In my dreams, I hope to see you,
And hopefully one day, you can tell me what I need to do.
A good night, I say unto you,
Until we meet again, this will have to do.
Remember I will always love you!
