I Cried For You

The tears ran down my face

There is so much going on

I would pick up the phone and try to dial your number

It’s been so long, I can’t remember the number anymore

The receiver held in my hand

I held it to my chest

You’re gone

I think about the times I would call

Hearing your voice answer

I wouldn’t have to say a word

You would listen and say “Baby, is that you?”

I would tell you about my day

Dates that I had

Situations that I was experiencing

Your advice would be so simple

Voice always calming to my spirit

I can’t call you anymore

I fill my days with busy work

Now I need to call you

My world is crumbling around me

I feel all alone

I want to hear you

I gather myself nightly

Surround myself with pillows

The tears soak my pillow

I tell myself it will be okay

Time will heal wounds

If I could just feel your arms

Hear your voice

I awake and the feeling is still there

I made a dish that you always made

It comforted me for the moment

I rampage through the garage

Found the box I was looking for

There it is...

Your answering machine

I bring it into the house and plug it in

I hear your voice

I start the conversation

I press play again

You say “Hello”

I say “Mommy”!
