Mom

She doesn't have to feel this way

Embraced by guilt,

Bleeding shame

She can't see who she really is

Underneath all this hate

She's not sure how to find herself

She can't remember joy

All she knows now is loss

All this unbearable pain

She misses him more each day

Her baby boy, gone

Stolen fiercely away

She doesn't want to know

Who she is, without him

To laugh, without him alive

Feels like a sin

She would rather die
