..... Mother .....

There were no warnings Mother

only signs

Begging for one more day

to say

how much I've missed you

since you went

away

I feel your skin, thin with age

the shape of your fingernails

your love

your smell

to hear your Voice

to look into your Eyes

and see you looking back

Are you proud of who I am?

I crave

your love

not a child anymore

but still

scared

Alone

these broken days

when I want to hide

because it is you I miss

hoping somebody will

pick me up

and carry me away

from this

Help me understand

Mountains now rocks

Ocean now a drop
