For Silviya

There you stand at the foot of my bed.
This vision of you so clear in my head.
 
Do you watch me whilst I am restless in sleep.
Are you bound to me by the memories you keep.
 
Is your love for me something that keeps you here.
Do you feel my pain, is that why your near.
 
Do you see the dark circles round my eyes.
Are you sad for all the tears I have cried.
 
Do you long to wipe those tears from my face.
Does your arms ache to hold me in their embrace.
 
Do you worry how I will go on without you.
Will I have a happy life, just like I used to.
 
I look in your eyes and see your hearts breaking.
I can’t stop the tears flow as I feel myself shaking.
 
You have been by my side since the day I was born.
And all of my life your love you have sworn.

I want this day to be our last good bye.
Rest now my sweet its your turn to fly, up through the clouds to the Castle in the sky

The connection we share will never fade, I will be OK mum so don’t be afraid.
