Son

Baby Blue

I miss you every day

Your absence has ripped through my life like a tornado.

Leaving every part of me broken

Piles of irreparable debris

Where once a normal woman stood.

I'm trying to put myself back together.

But there are cracks in the walls of my mind.

The foundation is still shaking.

I saw you on Saturday and every time it's still a shock that you're taller than I am.

The air always feels heavy with the truths I'm dying to say but don't.

I wonder if you can feel it?

I try to convey all the words in my heart without speaking.

We're connected, you and I, whether you like it or not.

Can you feel how much I miss you?

Can you feel how much I love you?

Do you know that you're the only true love I've ever felt?

Love without question,

Love without reason,

Love immeasurable until my dying breath.

Even if you cut me off completely,

I could never do the same to you.

I would take every pain in your place if I could,

I would sacrifice my life for your happiness.

Such is the curse of a mother.
