''Mommy, You Turned the Wheel the Wrong Way.''


if i'd been older
i would've have more to say..

"mommy, please don't turn the wheel that way!"

off that bridge and in the water..

i understand now
why
you'd want to get away from my father.

but then i was so little
i didn't understand
why would you kill you, kill me
just to get away from a man.

we could of packed our suitcases
and just run away
but now you're dead
and forever that way you'll stay.

i miss you mom..

i don't even know your name?
i grew up hoping
it wasn't me who was to blame.

i grew up alone..

no mother to fill your shoes
my heart has been left lonely
and feels so bruised.

i know you thought
you'd take us to a better place.

but instead you're gone.

i can barely remember your face &
can only imagine your soft embrace.

i remember vaguely
a dusty record player
the sun shining in as you sang your sweet song
me singing along
why couldn't you have just stayed right here?

i got left feeling so lost
so unneeded
if i'd been older
that fateful day i was with you
i would of pleaded..

"mommy, please don't turn the wheel that way
just hold me in your arms where i can forever stay."
