She Was the Mother (lyrics challenge)

She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
She said she needed a break
A little time to think
Now I’m left
Cleaning up the mess she made
I’m finished, I’m getting her off my chest
Made her come clean in a dirty dress
I don’t wanna meet her friends
And I don’t wanna start over again
I want to know right know
What will it be
Some things in this world
They don’t make sense
Some things you don’t need
Until they leave you
And they’re things that you miss
I see her face
In the frame on my desk
It meant a lot
Now it means a lot less
It’s just a place
For the dust in my room to rest
Are you happy out there
In this great wide world
Do you think about your sons
Do you miss your little girl
You broke your children for life
It’s not ok but we’re alright
Maybe I’ll grow up and be good someday
Maybe this pain I feel will go away
It’s easier for me to be alone
But there’s still a piece of me that feels so empty
Where are you now?
I’m trying to get by with never knowing at all
But, I miss you
You belong to me
