Dearly Departed
DEARLY DEPARTED
In the depths of loneliness
Deep despair in my lonely hour
A sigh of disbelief
To be of such importance in my life and leave without a goodbye
Left seeking for the love treasured
In my darkest hour the pain measured
Sharp jabs as my heart pounds heavily
Trembling lips as I moan hysterically
In a dark corner praying
No answers from above- HE has stopped listening
Curses to the above – why, why!
Tear-drop stains…
On this paper I convey with you no longer here
Greatly missed
Gone too soon
Words said but never cherished enough
Life is too short but never defined
Living without you…
A constant reminder,
I thought you said you would always be there?
In my darkest hour the sorrow I can’t bear
Memories linger on the times shared
Moments shared never to be re-lived
Before my first breath,
My first words, my first steps…
You knew me more than I did
Endured knowing I was not the same as the others
When others had two… I had you
A dark cloud cushioned with sorrow
My future bleak-shadowed
What now?
My hearts desire blemished
Crashing blow to the love cherished
Never to be forgotten
More than a mother’s love
When we meet again…
Probably the reason why you never said goodbye
Under this earth you lie
In my heart to stay
Dearly departed, thank you for being my mum…
