Oh Mom

Contributed by Dandy on Tuesday, 7th December 2004 @ 10:19:03 AM in AEST
Topic: SadPoetry



Oh Mom, please tell me, why did you have to die?
I need you now to comfort me, when I begin to cry,
Thirty years later, and Im your little boy thats lost,
Made such a huge mess of things to my terrible cost,

Oh Mom, it was awful, you leaving us and going,
Changed the way I behaved, without me even knowing,
So at the age of ten, all that was certain, disappeared,
Made me petrified of loss, and since Ive always feared,

Oh Mom, when I was told youd died; I disbelieved,
Kept thinking youd walk back in, so I never grieved,
The result; I hid all of my feelings, deep down inside,
Never showed my emotions, thought Id kept my pride,

Oh Mom, for thirty years now, Ive been so insecure,
Behaved in ways I shouldnt have because I was unsure,
So I erected a faade, designed to isolate and protect,
Protected my fragile ego, but my family it wrecked,

Oh Mom, when I think of you, lavender fills the air,
Takes me to warm summers when I didnt have a care,
But its so very different now, every single day I cry,
I really need a hug Mom, why did you have to die?
