For my Son

I can hear your heartbeat inside me 
Even though you're gone. 
I prayed for you my whole life.  
You finally came,  
So full of love and light. 
We were always together.
I  thought we always would be.
I took care of you, and you watched out for me.
Then one day, everything changed. You didn't look at me the same way, 
You were always angry
You were cruel. 
You wanted to hurt me with your words
Like a thousand cuts.
I sat there bleeding,
Blood no one could see. 
I thought I would never recover and I was right,
I never did.
I wondered around by myself, 
Watching you with your new best friend
Laughing, so happy.
I tried to numb the loneliness,
The emptiness the jealousy.
I missed you. I missed you. 
My world turned dark.
I sat there empty, ready to leave this world
Because mine was gone .
I had a dream 
you were a  leaf in the wind
 Floating away from me,
 I ran and I ran and I tried to catch you
But you were just out of reach
I couldn't touch you ,
Even one last time
I just wanted to you touch your hand 
Tell you I love you, 
I love you. 
I stopped, standing motionless 
Watching you.
it was too late,
I waited too long to reach you,
To hear your heartbeat again 
when you were part of me. 
I could hear your voice
An  echo in my memory 
whispering in the wind, 
bye bye Mommy bye bye.

The Stirring

I come home I am smiling 
Look do they see me ?
Do not say anything 
Knew I was gone? 
Something inside me
Dead for a long time 
I feel its heart beating
Beating along. 
What does it mean?
This stirring inside me 
Look through the tiny cracks 
Of my hearts home . 
Don't they know that  I'm dying ?
To be once a family 
They do not see me 
Always alone.

The Trees

Look through the trees
Through the night branches 
Everyone sleeping 
Everything still.
That's when I feel you,
Waking and stretching 
Looking for me too
Where would I go? 
I look through the trees.
Through the night branches 
Hoping to find you 
See my way home.
