“SO I TOOK MY TEARS OUTSIDE”

I JUST

WANTED ONE MORE HUG,

I JUST

WANTED TO GET LOST IN YOUR CHEST,

WITH YOUR ARMS FIRMLY AROUND ME AS YOU PRESSED,

I GUESS,

YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN I’M GONNA SEE YOU AGAIN,

THE WAY LIFE GOES THINGS COULD BE LOST QUICKLY WITH THE WIND,

I’M SURE YOU’RE GONNA CALL ME WHEN YOU’RE HOME SAFE,

JUST WISH I HAD ONE MORE CHANCE TO SEE THAT BEAUTIFUL SMILE ON YOUR FACE,

ONE MORE CHANCE TO RECEIVE THAT LOVING WARM EMBRACE,

NOW I’M OUTSIDE WHILE THESE TEARS SIMPLY RUN DOWN MY FACE,

DIDN’T WANT TO ANSWER TO ANYONE’S QUESTIONS AS TO WHY I’M SO TROPICAL STORM FAITH,

WHY I’M OUT HERE ALONE TRYING TO HIDE THE HURT EMBEDDED DEEP IN MY HEARTS HOME PLACE,

SO I TOOK MY TEARS OUTSIDE TO SIMPLY GATHER MYSELF AND GET SOME AIR,

AND EVERY PLANE THAT IS IN THE SKY IS MAKING ME WONDER IF IT’S YOU UP THERE,

AS EACH OF THEM GO BY I SIMPLY WATCH – I SIMPLY STARE,

SO NOW THAT YOU’RE GONE AT LEAST I HAVE PHONE CALLS TO PLACE TO YOU TO LET YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU AND CARE,

MOMMA NO NEED TO CRY MENTALLY I’M RIGHT THERE,

AND I’LL PROBABLY BE BACK THAT WAY SOME TIME NEXT YEAR,

OH ALL THESE THOUGHTS GOT ME ALL OUT HERE,

THAT’S WHY I TOOK MY ASS OUTSIDE SO MY TEARS COULD RUN FREE AND MY SOUL CAN BE BARE,

YOU ALWAYS TOLD ME THAT LIFE WOULD SOMETIMES BE UNFAIR, 

YOU ALSO TAUGHT ME TO HAVE FAITH AND HOW TO SPEAK TO THE LORD THROUGH THE ALMIGHTY PRAYERS, 

LIFE ISN’T AT ALL HOW I PICTURED IT WOULD BE WHAT I THOUGHT AT ALL I SWEAR, 

I GUESS I’LL LEARN TO TAKE THE GOOD WITH THE BAD, BUT I FEEL SO UNPREPARED, 

TONIGHT WHEN I GET HOME I’LL HUG THE KIDS A BIT TIGHTER FOR MANY REASONS THOUGH THEY’RE SO UNAWARE, 

THEY ARE MY SANCTUARY, THEY MAKE ME FEEL LIKE A MILLIONAIRE, 

I HAVE EVERYTHING IN THEM AND THEY KEEP ME WALKING ON AIR, 

FUNNY THE PAIR, 

FILLED WITH LIFE – SO MANY DANGERS I HAVE TO MAKE THEM AWARE, 

MAMMA DON’T LEAVE ME NOW….. I AM SO DAMN SCARED.
