EMPTY SPACE

EMPTY SPACE

by Dreamy Poetess

I feel like half of my world just collapsed,

Feeling lost, disoriented, overwhelmed.

The world feels so different without you;

It feels like you took the colors with you.

Mama, tell me how to endure this pain.

Mama, I tried to be okay in vain.

Mama, I wish to see you in my dreams,

But it won’t pacify my silent screams.

Mama, tell me how to move on from this.

Without you now, my world has lost its bliss.

I miss you, Mama; your warmth, voice, and face.

Nothing can ever fill this empty space.

I will go on, continue with my life,

Although I feel like I’m stabbed with a knife.

Because that is what will make you happy;

That your children will live your legacy.

(In loving memory of my mother, who bravely fought Sarcoma.)
