Oh, dear mother, I love you so much
I miss your smile and your loving touch
I know I\'ve been naughty but I\'m not that bad
I\'m a poet now and I can write why I\'m sad.
You see, mum, I\'ve written you a letter
To ask how you are and to tell you I\'m better
Because before when I thought things were okay
I was left speechless when you and dad ran away.
I know there were times when I have hurt you
But I was young and never knew what to do
Yes. I drank Whiskey and snorted cocaine
I had nothing to lose just chocked on pain.
5 years now has felt like several decades
So I stole mirrors and bought razor blades
The message you sent me to keep me going
Melts my heart with the love you\'re showing.
Now I\'ve packed up my old ideas of hope
I think it\'s time we could both learn to cope
For father, I\'ll say, please stay out the way
Leave us alone and let me stay for a day.
I\'ll write again soon just to say I love you
And I know you\'ll write back I love you too
Remember these words from your son Kevin
We\'ll meet one day before we meet in Heaven.
I can\'t say I\'ll last another five years
So I\'ve written you in with a million tears
Each day they will drop onto the floor
Each day I will miss you more and more.
So until the next time, we can meet
Sign up on twitter and I\'ll send you a tweet
Along with this poem, I\'ll read it out loud
How much I love you and I hope you\'re proud.
