Not Now

This is the longest we have gone

Without a word,

Without forgiving.

The joy of seeing me has left

Your heart.

I made just one mistake,

But it was the worst,

Now you'll never forgive me.

This is the longest I have had

To bear this pain.

And I don't know if I can bear

The constant pain that penetrates

my heart.

And every time that I look up,

I see the twinkling stars

Beneath the night sky.

And all I do is look through them,

And see the never fading darkness

Just above the stars.

And every time I look around

I see the twinkling eyes I miss,

Because you etched the image

Of your twinkling eyes into my heart.

And I know I will never let

The memory of your smile

Fade from my heart and soul.

And mommy, I just must ask you,

Where have your twinkling eyes gone?

Where has your smile gone?

You used to come home and tell me

The funniest stories,

Laugh freely,

Squeeze me freely.

Now, you don't have time.

Every time I try to tell

A little story, make you smile,

You look at me, and tell me,

"Not now."

Mommy, I just want you back,

Your twinkling eyes,

Your so bright smile.

I just want your happiness

To penetrate my heart

With a purity that

Is yours only.

Sometimes, I feel like

You just don't have time

For me.

Ever since daddy walked out,

Mommy, you've walked out on my life.

Mommy, I want you back,

Your twinkling eyes,

Your so bright smile.
