The echoes still faded through my thoughts
of the last words I heard her speak to me,
The days have long since unraveled
and left me totally speechless to all,
For her last words on that day
refused to let me live in peace.
Four years and more have passed since then
yet still I am haunted by what had passed,
For neither of us was fair to the other
and we each said things we shouldn't have,
Now here I sit these years later
as tears stream down my face.
How I wish I had the power to turn back time
so that I could just simply tell her sorry,
I wasn't the son that she remembered
and my tone and attitude was wrong,
Why did it all have to end so fast
and leave me no chance to apologize to her.
My decision might have been right in the end
yet I went about it all wrong towards her,
Now I can only sit at her grave side and cry
for in this life I can never tell her sorry,
Never will I feel her arms around me
and hear her comforting heartbeat.
My pride cost me the most precious moments of all
and for that I will live my life in shame,
In her last moments on this earth
all my mom knew from me was my anger,
Today I sit here and cry for I miss her so
and still the echoes of her voice will haunt me.
