The Mother Lost

My tears are flowing freely.
There are many more to come.
Wave after wave my tears make a flood.

You have left and gone away,
To somewhere I cannot follow.
So here I must stay.

I want to be so mad at you for leaving me alone,
You went to a place to where I cannot even call
To hear you voice over the phone.

I am so afraid I will forget your face,
Or what it feels like
To be in your loving embrace.

You have only been gone for a little while,
Yet I miss you
And wish I could again see your smile.

I do take comfort in knowing one thing,
I know you're no longer
In anymore pain.

But I am still sad, and I don't know how to be,
Now that I don't have
My mother with me.

Why did you have to go?
Why did you have to leave?
Don't you know I need you so?

Now I will do my best to remember you every day,
To remember you
in every way.

As for now I sit here thinking of you and knowing the pain will slowly fade,
Remembering the moments we shared
And the memories we made.

I know the hurt and pain I feel together,
It will all slowly go away
Because not even hard time last forever.

I will see you again one day,
It just won't be today.
