You look sleepless

We hardly have time like we always did

When can we stargaze?

When can you sing me a sweet lullaby?

And read me fairy tales?

You have been too busy chasing life

Mama, hear me

Can you not see me here?

I crave for your love

For your attention

For your loving hands

To caress my hair

To softly pat me

You have been too busy with the world

Mama, hear me

Where are you?

I have a lot in mind

I have questions to be answered

Can you take the time to stare?

I have been miserable lately

Mama, hear me

I am sorry

I take too long to realise

You were there

To always provide

To always keep me safe

I have been too reckless, too selfish

Mama, can you hear me?

How have you been?

Do you see me down here?

I miss you

There has never been a day

I forget about you

Mama, can you hear me

I love you …
