Mom We miss you!!
Lauren Constance Jul 2012
Show me which way you went
I can't find you anywhere
Give me your hand
I can no longer feel your warmth

Where did you go
I can no longer feel you here

You've gone away
and it's been only a month now
I try not to remember you trembling face
begging to get out of that bed
but too weak to endure the pain any longer

We all took sanity in knowing
we had made the right choice to let you go
but will we ever know if we did truthfully

All of the pain you endured throughout your life
came out on your skin like a canvas
The world painted its needs on you
while you helped to heal their wounds
A nurse fighting in the war for life

Mother we miss you dearly
but you will not be forgotten
we will keep your spirit alive through
keeping your name in our mouths
and the memories in our hearts

We will never forget the little things
the inseparable moments we shared
cause even though your not with us here
we know your watching over us

All we want is for you to be free of the pain
forgive yourself for all the faults and mistakes
you think you may have made
because in our eyes you were and still are
The best mother anyone could ever ask for

Thank you for holding our hand when we needed you
we had the chance to hold yours before you went to heaven
just be our angel and watch over us
we need you more than ever now

As long as your spirit stays alive
you will never be forgotten
As long as were here on this Earth
we will always have you to guide us
Please be our strength and our perseverance
take us to new heights and show us new things
We need you now more than ever
Use the things you learned in this life
to teach us spiritually so that we can be as free as you

giving up or giving in?
Lauren Constance Dec 2011
How do you let everything go when you have become so comfortable with being in the situation? You cant sleep without the person by your side, cant remember doing anything without the person for so long that the littlest thought of leaving and walking away makes you freak out.. Having all the memories of amazing times together and even remembering the way the person smells, tastes, acts, ect...your one and only true best friend...=/

How do you give up on someone you promised you would always love and you still do...but you cant handle being in the postion in life with irresponsible and dishonesty with money, and everything in general. Your not even whole for yourself, how could you have put so much effort for so long into someone elses life, and then regret falling so far into love and wholeness with a person that no matter their flaws you cant give it up, you cant throw it all away.

You have  befriended all of the persons friends, and have become completely wound up in the life of this person. They know everything about you, and your home life. They are close-knit with your family, and they participate in every holiday together. How do you give up everything, knowing that it is the right thing to do at the moment, but fear never seeing the person again. Never feeling the warmth of their skin next to you when you sleep, and the feeling of their embracing arms wrapped around you when your upset.

But then again, how do you know that this all wasnt a game from the beginning and that you were just a pawn on the game board? How do you honestly know the truth about anything anymore..they know everything about you, but your learning slowly but surely that you may not know fully about them. That maybe you put your heart and soul into something that really was just a lost cause...that maybe this person no matter how hard you try to help them will never change...

How do you cope with knowing that maybe this person isnt who you were meant to be with...that you completely wasting your time loving, caring, and completly and devoutly committing to the person for so long and didnt realize anything before..How is it possible to go through many years of being comfortable in a certain position, and then all of a sudden realizing that nothing you did in your life so far was anything that you actually wanted to do. That all you might have been searching for was companionship. Someone to prove to you that it was possible to completly fall in true love and take care of each other...And how do you tell the person without losing them forever that you made a mistake..?

How do you love someone and want to be with them and love them, but at the same time question every single thing you have ever done in your life?

The memories piercing...
Lauren Constance Nov 2011
AFRAID
to dream
TO SEE.

MEMORIES
Mirroring,
Twisting,
warping,
Itself INSIDE
my brain.

TRAPPED
this vivid cage,
this room,
ALONE.

DON’T want
to remember
how to FEEL.

But I do
SECRETLY,
I DO.

TRUTH
LIES FORBIDDEN

Don’t tell
HIDE Inside;
SCARED.

I will;
CRASH
BURN
FALL.

Feelings of;
HATE,
despair,
ANGER.

Just WANT to see;
BLOOD drained
from YOUR veins

The TORTURE;
felt vicariously
through me.

I want you to FEEL
what YOU did.

NAKED skin
VILE tastes;
Drowning
in
PAIN.

REMEMBER
dark attempts;

HAVING
STRONG,
rough,
touching,
HANDS

always
HOLDING ME DOWN.

Inside Here
Lauren Constance Nov 2011
Black-out curtains make the day go away

I've become connected to this place

a great feeling of my chest rising and falling

when I leave this little room

Learning more about the world

in this place, I learn more

but without the painful feeling

of seeing it first-hand


Oh, How the world is crumbling

but I'd rather see

from these books and things

inside here

from outside

the pain, it hurts

So deep inside my heart

Right here


I feel safe inside this place

because the secrets know my face

and I know them too

The fear of being alone

it used to haunt my deepest fears

— The End —
