SOMEDAY SOMEHOW

SOMEDAY SOMEHOW

by Dreamy Poetess

Here I am, sitting alone in the crowd,

Not caring for anything anymore;

Not even for things that once made me proud.

I am not the same as I was before.

I don’t know what to feel at this moment;

Feeling things is already exhausting.

I don’t even want to make a comment

On the things that once were so exciting.

Maybe if the impossible happened,

I would be witnessing a miracle,

Just to see you and hold you once again;

I need to free my heart from this shackle.

I must let go, though I do not want to;

Clinging to this pain makes me remember.

It makes me feel like I’m still close to you,

But I can’t stay in this grief forever.

Life must go on, and I need to move on.

Memories remain as the pain turns dull.

Someday, somehow, I will stop holding on.

That’s what you would want for me after all.

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