I Sit Here Alone
I sit here alone
in my house today
it use to be rush here
rush there
in all kind of different ways.
My love for my mother
who I took care of and
loved liked no other.
I wrote poetry at
this time I could
not find my self
Life to me seemed unfair
because my mama
some days could not
even comb her hair
I sit here alone
it has been not yet a year
in this house we brought in
others help like nurses aids
and doctors and family
so in hopes I would relax
because I felt like I was
failing my self.
I sit here a lone
in this house
I now feel better about my self
even though with out my mom
in parts of my life
it feels like gone is my
favorite song.
I miss mom so much
she had that special
motherly touch.
I sit here alone
now all day I do not hear
my mom yelling out my name out.
or if trying to remember
If I gave her meds this out time.
And nights if mom would wake up
alive , because her life
now had a time line.
For me and her some days
our eyes seem like
we had gone stone blind.
I sit here alone
now in this house
much quieter
much calmer
much grief
as I sit and only hear
a drip from the kitchen sink.
what do I do next?
My feelings feel mixed
because.
I sit here alone
in this house
and praying to God
with this feelings of being alone
because it was not me but my mom
who lived her life very strong.
that make me smile,
because now that she gone
mom raised me up right
even though now she not in my
sight.
