A few minutes ago, she went through that door,

After which, she lived no more,

At the end of the tunnel, she entered the light,

She tried so hard, but lost the fight.

 

Now, She lies here in front of me,

As peaceful as she could ever be,

But she’s left me with nothing but sorrow,

With nothing to look forward to tomorrow

 

Why did it have to be this way???

There was so much I still had to say….

She’d never even done a single wrong,

And yet, she suffered for so long…..

 

She had tried to heal again and again,

Silently experiencing all that pain…..

And then, that fatal decision God took,

And then, my entire life God shook….

 

People come and tell me its OK,

But don’t they see I’ll miss her EVERY day??????

They tell me “She’s gone back from where she came…..”

But don’t they see it’ll never be the same??????????

 

Consolation is not the only thing I need

People’s forced sympathy causes my heart to bleed,

These relatives…..oh, I wish I could be rude,

These relatives who deprive me of my solitude……

 

“Take care, Be strong”, she had said to me,

Before embarking on her separate journey,

But my mind still refuses to acknowledge her demise,

Refuses to accept that I’ll never look into those eyes….

 

My heart used to beat for her,

My lips used to smile for her,

My eyes will always long for her

Mom…….I’ll miss u forever……….
