If only you had cared
As far as I remember,
My mom's tears are the only sound
I know, even since I was in her womb.
If only you had cared,
You would have mended her heart.

Leaving us was your choice,
Staying could've healed her heart.
When you decided we would never meet,
Was it my fault, or was it fate?
What did I do so wrong,
To make you walk away

I grew up without your love,
I learned to walk without your hand,
Every birthday was a reminder,
Bitter and sweet to my mom,
of your absence, a void she tried to fill.
Would things have been different,
If you had stayed?
Would my heart be whole?
If only you had cared?
