Are You There

Mom, I know you're up there now
I wish that you were here
I know you hear me from that place
I think I feel you near

Two long days, two nights too long
I've got to see your smile
If there was a way to cope
I've missed it by a mile

I never really said enough
How much you meant to me
But here I am down on my knees
I'll try to let you see

He hit you with his car dead on
You hit your head too hard
You slept for almost two months straight
Your body I did guard

I wouldn't let them touch the cord
That made your body work
They tried to and I told them no
Behind the walls they'd lurk

They came in on that Sunday night
And told me it was time
It took all six to get me off
So they could do their crime

Your breathing stopped, your heart did too;
I felt mine fall apart
I screamed and begged and pleaded no
But no one had a heart

So now I sit here by your grave
They tell me to let go
But none of them can feel this pain
If only they could know

They never watched their mother die
That man who took your soul
He walked out of that courtroom free
I knew it was his goal

They're taking me away today
They stated I'm "not well"
They're taking me to live up north
On you my thoughts will dwell

Mom, I know you love me still
I'll always be your girl
You'll watch me from that place up there
And see my life unfurl
