Missing My Mother
I never thanked you
Before you died
I didn't get a chance to see you
I'm haunted not by your memory
But the regrets living in my heart
And when I see you in my dreams
Reminding me to carry on
It all becomes so dreadfully difficult
You didn't even get a proper funeral
Thanks to your husband
So I wonder if I'll ever find closure
Because this pain in my chest
Only seems to get stronger
It's only been a year
But it feels like an eternity
And all the fights we had seem so trivial
And I just wish
I could have that time back
I would trade half my life span
Just to see you one last time
And thank you for the life you gave me
For the belief you had in me
And for seeing not the son I was
But the son you knew I could be
I know it's late
But I love you
Thank you for everything
If there is paradise after life
I hope you're there worry free
I will miss you every day
But I will carry on as you would have wanted
And though my heart will never heal
One day I hope to genuinely be happy again
And not cry when I remember you
Before you died
I never thanked you
...Thank you
