I am on the sofa – 2016

I Am On The Sofa (2016)

I am on the sofa where my son used to lie
Back from the jungle away from it all
I switch off my smile
And can be myself again once more.

My eyes start to water
as I feel my heart in pain.
Why aren’t you near me?
Why are you there?

Why aren’t we fighting?
Why aren’t you teasing?
Why aren’t I pleading?
Why aren’t we hoping and dreaming?

That life is better than all this, it’s no crime
You taught me to live one day at a time
But how many days can I live
Without seeing you here with me right now?

I feel so worn,
so torn and bare
I have two kids here,
and one angel out there.
