Forest (Wattys2016)

Come Home...

I know that you've been hiding

I know you've things in secrecy

I'm not the one to judge 

Or play these games of "hide and seek"

Late nights when you weep

Awaking in pools of tears and sheets

Acting so recklessly

After what happened you felt so empty

I don't even think you feel regret

All you do is make others fret

No longer ashamed to undress

Hopes of numbing pain with liquor and sex

We're all coping differently

A combination of therapy and sympathy

A dangerous path, but you refuse to see

Have you forgotten that you're the mother of three?

Have you forgotten about me?

And all the others that actually cared?

But now  you've run off because you were "scared"

Life felt like a circle of desire

But I don't know why you'd think

That you were on your own

When others like me

Just wanted you to come home
