I Miss You

 

 

 

It's been a whole year and yet still ma I cry

As I sit and I ponder why the good people die

Every ounce of the love in my heart comes from you

The sky always seems black and it's no longer blue

 

Day after day I still try and live life

I laugh and I smile with every strength of my might

Truth is it's a front for I'm messed up inside

My shell is still here yet I don't feel alive

 

It's so easy to say that you have to move on

And I used to believe that until you were gone

The 20th of March was the last time we spoke

You closed your sweet eyes and you no longer woke

 

You promised you'd be there on my last birthday

And you were, for I buried you on that dark day

The 27th of March is the reason I cry

It's the day I was born yet the day that I died

 

So I walk around now with a hole in my heart

And it hurts so damn much that we're so far apart

But I still have the memories of just me and you

For you dwell in my soul ma, and yes that's so true

 

Your beautiful face is forever in my mind

The only one I knew that was always so kind

You taught me to love and be all I can be

Yes you gave me life and you taught me to see

 

To see that this life is not promised to us

For the cancer took over and it stole all my trust

So all I can do now is honor your name

And see what you've seen for our eyes are the same

 

I'm living my life and I need you to know

That my feelings are warm though this world is so cold

I miss you so much and I'll see you again

My mother, my mentor, my very best friend

 

I know you look down on me all through the night

I still see your beauty although not in sight

Your heart  is inside me and never will die

I'll see you real soon ma, I'll never say goodbye

I wish I could comfort you in some small way for such a devastational loss! Your mother at such a young age taken--she is surely in heaven and enjoying peace and no sickness or pain. May God bless you and give you strength. Your whole poem is complete love and I know your Ma is so proud of this tribute! I'm saving this to my favorites.
Your writing is overflowing with your true love for your mother! This is one of the nicest poems I have ever read.
