As she walked away again, his eyes glossed over as he stood at the doorway,
As he’d decided, he didn’t cry for her like before, not one tear was cast away
As usual she had showered him with kisses, the game she loved to play
She told him the usual stuff, how when she comes back they will play
She did not notice the cold look in his eyes as he turned his cheek away
She just continued to fidget with her handkerchief like it was a mold of clay
This time around, he thought to himself as he watched her drive away
This time he won’t be the one always left and counted upon to stay
This time when she came back, he’d be long gone astray
For he had given her one last chance to love him and stay
For all the love his little heart thought he sent her way
For now & ever “goodbye Mama”, his love never again to see the light of day
