Goodbye

I am very sorry for not posting lately
I've recently lost one of my favorite ladies
It's to the point my hands keep shaking 
I lost my mother a week ago 
It's to the point that I don't know
Where do I go from here 
Constantly shedding tears
I fear my mind might fry
How would you feel to watch your mom die
I can not lie it has me insane
Always the voices in my brain
I need to drain all of this pain 
This stress is causing my head to strain
But my mother did not die in vain
What am I to gain from this
Losing her at just seventeen 
Tell me that she's in heaven please
At this point I don't believe
All I can do is grieve 
How come I was so niave 
Now I see what I've achieved 
Just the blood on the leaves
Someone tell me what that means
I wish this was all a dream 
For now I will only scream
