The Mother I lost
When I think of you,
I think of our last goodbye.
I would give a thousand yesterdays just to spend a second in your arms,
to feel your fingers brushing through my hair.
If I could tell you just one thing,
I would say "I love you and I dont want you to die, and I am not strong enough to let you go"
If I would have known i was going to have to let go of you that very same night,
I would've cherrished every moment I had left with you.
I would cry in your arms,
refusing to let you go, knowing it's your time,
I would beg you to stay and think of every way to keep you longer,
I would remind you that I cant live without you,
I would remind you I love you,
I would kiss your cheek with tears streaming down my face.
You are the woman who raised me as your own,
I would wish for you to stay forever holding me,
Alast, it can only be a wish, until the day I die.

This is dedicated to my grandmother:
I lived with my abusive drugie parents but I visited her every weekend and she raised me as her own daughter. The last thing I told her was that I hated her and I hoped she died, I was only 10 years old and she died that same night, and I didnt know she had cancer until after she died. It is really hard to live without her but you knoe i guess all I can do know is hope she knows I love her.
