I can see tears when by chance we meet
You're on the verge of crying
I can feel the desperation clinging
it makes me just feel like crying...
Fear of letting go of your daughter dying
Is something so foreign to me.....
Grief is so thick, I can't seem to see
My walls are steadying me
Polite conversation eludes me
And it moves me more than words
to see you suffer...
And it moves me more than words
that I make it worse...
Why do you do this to yourself?
I'd understand if you shunned me
The pain of missing your child
Now that I have grown-
the way your daughter
never will.....
And it rocks me to feel your grief
to see your eyes well with tears
I can feel this desperation clinging to me more
so much so that I cannot breathe.....
Please don't talk to me, please let me go
I can't handle you staring so...
Desperation clings to me of a life lost long ago
It won't bring her back to speak with me
I wish I could to stop your pain.
Please, set yourself free.....
For this desperation of clinging to me
is causing deep anxiety.
Walls are built to prevent friendships
Invisible I hide.
I can't feel this way again
desperately you cling to every passing moment-
the time I spent with your daughter sends echoes
of laughter through the air
expecting her to be there
even after all these years.....
Let it go, dear Mother, let it go
I release myself from your invisible grasp
and move away from your clinging....
Help yourself, you will not forget her
Stop blaming yourself for her death.
If you could have prevented it
You would have exchanged your life instead.
I know this...........
For years I felt guilty for living
this beautiful life.
But now I know its about letting go
So now I've moved on with my life.
I still remember her brightest smile and her
devilish loud laugh
But I owe it to life itself to live it
As even you as her Mother does.
