Just Leaves / It's Nothing Personal

The mother leaves you orphaned 
at whatever age just leaves
It's nothing personal 

Yet she does not drift away
She stays only you cannot
Find her anymore except within the seasons

Where her voice is your voice 
Although she sings rings around
Your mezzo-sop-

Everyone who loved her feels her
As the part of them 
No one could amputate

That infectious inherent lie 
It's her time it's not hers to take away 
She wouldn't she's too kind

But it is as quiet now 
As the little packet of safety she gave
And all who love her to outside to find her
