Vale

I'm trying to deal with the grief of losing my beautiful Mum, who passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on the 9th of January, 2016. Words are cathartic therapy for me, and therefore, I am expressing my pain in the only way I know how, through poetry.

In peace,

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.
