GONE

GONE

by Dreamy Poetess

Mama, I lie awake and cannot sleep.

In the middle of the night that's so deep.

The rain falls, the wind howls, it is so cold.

I wish to hear the stories you have told.

Seasons will change, the rain will come and go.

What remains is the heart that loves you so.

I wish you're still here to feel your embrace.

Although I know you're in a better place.

I still remember when I was younger,

You used to come and make me feel better,

When I wake in the middle of the night,

You came with Papa and turned on the light.

Life seems different now that you are gone.

I close my eyes, count backwards up to one.

I stare at the picture on your social,

Reality made me emotional.

Mama, can you ease my pain like before?

If only I've said how much I adore,

Your voice, your face, all the things about you.

Now you're gone, my world is in grayish hue.

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