James Faulkner Poet Free verse

Defeated Suicide- I Love You Mom

She wept undefeated in the game life
Bitterly victorious to breath once more
She murmurs thoughts of a shattered mind
Tears course routes within wrinkles of time 
Yet she smiles, murmuring the unknown

I watch as my all begins to withdrawal 
Reminiscing her tender contentment with life
Contagious tears uncover my artificial strength
Why? 
Why must the only thing I love want to leave
Why torment the mind an angel 
Why is the only reply i should imply to God, Jesus, or whoever is listening
Why?

I love you mom, get well soon.
