Dearest Mother

Lights flashing
Sirens screaming
Cars crashing
Fire beaming

I run frantically
Hoping you survived
Waiting anxiously
Then I realise

Shocked and in disbelief
Dead you lie
Starting to feel the grief
Trying hard not to cry

Taking on the pain
My emotions at war
Eventually I cannot contain
My walls – fall to the floor

Closing my eyes
But still seeing you there
Shutting it out of my mind
Yet remembering it clear

What to do?
Wishing you were here to tell me
Living without you
Proving harder than I thought it would be

I love you
I never got the chance to say
I need you
Even though I wished you away

A relationship taken for granted
Someone that was always there
Something that you had planted
Mother I miss you, and will always hold you dear.
