For my Mother...

I lost you the other day,
Or actually you left me.
Now all I have left is memories,
But I don't want memories
I want you.
There is nothing I can do to fix this
Except wander lonely through the house.
I convince myslef you're coming home,
I wait patiently, but you never do.

We buried you today.
They layed you in a pretty box
And said you were my mom.
I know it isn't true though,
This lady isn't you,
She just looks like it.
My brother bawled his eyes out,
But I just sat there numb.

I visited you today.
This isn't how it should be.
A lot has happened in almost two years.
I'm graduating this year,
I wish you could see me.
I'm all grown up now mom,
I'm going to college.
Brian is getting married.
But where are you mom?
Why did you leave me when I needed you so?
I guess I'll never know, untill I join you.
It won't be long mom,
I love you.
