HOW DARE YOU

How dare you leave, like a thief in the night

The woman that loved me and raised me right

How dare you leave me without a goodbye

To feel this whole in my chest as I cry

How dare you walk away to where God calls you home

When I know right now I feel the most alone

How dare you rest peacefully and eternally

While I try to grip hold of my loss mentally and emotionally

How dare you be the best mother I ever had

When not one memory I have of you is bad

How dare you be the best woman in the world in my eyes

As I sit here writing out my woes hoping you hear my cries

How dare you be the amazing person I hope to grow up to even be a fraction of

While I sit here thinking how your hugs and words were my safety glove

How dare you be the one person in my life I know I can't replace

As I think of the next time I will see your face

How dare you be my reason for living and becoming a better me

So one day I'll see you again and you'll be proud of me
