my vase
Mom,
i still don't believe, i'm still in shock

a year has passed,
since i heard you speak.
that night i watched,
your eyes grow weak.
i sat at your bed,
as you drew your last breath.
you succumbed to a world,
of eternal rest.

the night was still,
and the road home long.
it wasn’t fair,
it was all so wrong.
not even a chance,
to wage your fight.
i held back the tears,
with all my might.

you left me in charge,
you always did.
no matter what,
even as a kid.
i hope you found peace,
when you left here.
for many years lost, i still shed a tear.
