Without You

For my mother.

I am broken...

For an eternity.

Hearing the whispers

Echoing through the walls

Your soft voice speaking to me

'Neath the cold moonlight nights.

 

My mother, my mentor

The life I live now

Is all because of you.

Following in your footsteps

With every piece of advice

You have given me.

 

"Stay strong, my child

Life is what you make of it

And everything will turn out

For the best..."

 

How can I believe in the best

When the best thing I've ever had

Was taken from me by a destructive hand.

Forcing my world of pure beauty

Into a land of misery and darkness.

 

The ghosts and demons scream

Sending my mind spiraling

Into a world of insanity

Wanting you, needing you

To comfort me like a guardian angel

Protecting and caring for a lonely soul.

 

The deadly past will never erase

Nor will change, as hard as I wish

But I'm learning to move on

....Without you.

Nicely written. I think it conveys the writer's emotion well, as well as the circumstances that are responsible for it. I love it! Arnold.

Sad write, but so well expressed and written.
