To My Mum
I’m smashing windows and breaking glass
I miss you and hate you for leaving me
You should have fought death and won
How could you just bow down to its thirst?
Who am I supposed to call mom?
Come back
Come back now,
Come back before my rage engulfs me to ashes.
I have been trying to call you every day
Then I remember you are gone
Do you know the pain that you have left me in?
If you left because I never said I love you I’m sorry
I said I’m sorry so please come back
How am I supposed to heal?
I miss you
I miss you so much
I know you don’t miss me too
I dream of you dying every night, your memories I have
I wake up happy that it was a dream
But it’s not a dream because you are gone.
I’m mad at you for going and leaving me like this
Are you happy that I’m in pain?
So won’t you come back and tell me it’s a dream
That you never died:
that I never saw that coffin going down.
Please mom, please tell me you are not dead
They are lying to me are they not?
Tell me you never left, please
I feel like I’m the one who is dying
The hurt is tearing my heart
Will I wake up tomorrow?
If I will, let me wake up from this nightmare.
Let me see you by myside so that I tell you how much I love you
