Work Text:
You passed before I could say goodbye,
I’m left with an emptiness I cannot fill.
Shattered and grieving, my broken heart dies,
Splintered into fragments forever numbed still.
Fluttering wings stir memories inside,
My soul cries out from pain and sorrow.
I long to sleep, to shut off my mind,
In the hope, you’ll be with me, on the morrow.
But each morning I wake to the heaviness of loss,
I choke on blinding tears that stream.
Reality hits me, and it’s then that I know,
We will only ever hug again in my dreams.
I miss you, Mum.
