Rossi, Boy Please Come Home

15 years ago Lukas Rossi stopped speaking to his mother. For what reasons I don't know but I thought I would write this in hopes of maybe trying to help heal what must be an awful heartbreak.

So sorry
All these years gone by and we've spoken
Not a word between us
Just this cold, cold silence
Wish that I could go back
Be the mother that you should have had
But I can't and neither can you
All I can do now is try to build a bridge
Extend my hand and ask you
Please Rossi boy come home
Home again to a mother's love that never forgot about you

Made so many mistakes
Too damm many
Broke your heart and mine
When I lost you
Threw you away
In a fit of rage I turned my back
On the best thing that ever happened in my life
You Lukas
My beloved son
My life
My baby
Please I'm begging you
Rossi, boy please come home
Home to a mother's love that wants you back so very much

Written you a million letters and e-mails
Never did send them
Picked up the phone a thousand times to call you
Always hung up before you could answer
Ashamed
Afraid of what you might think of me
Too little, too late
Made my head spin too
Knowing you were so close
Yet so far away from me
Parted by our pain
Don't know how to ask this but somehow I will
Please baby forgive me
Please Rossi boy come home
Home to the love of a mother who has at last learned from her mistakes

Missed you so much
Killed me
To be this long
Without you in my arms
I swear
I have cried every night that you've been away
Hating myself for sending you
So far from me
Lived in my own personal hell
Paying with the memories everyday
The price of my sin for hurting you so
So bad that you felt you had to leave my life forever
I will never forgive myself for that
I just hope as I write this that someday you will be able to
As my broken heart makes this one last desperate plea
The plea of an mother lost in her own despair
Rossi, boy please come home
Come home please
To me
To a mother's love that for you has never died
