She passed away on April 17th, and a piece of me died too.
I woke up that morning and thought itd be a good day all the way through.
My aunt called me and said you should come she won’t make it through the night.
I fell to my knees because God please, no, mommy can’t lose that fight.
I cried the entire drive, because I knew what was about to come.
I whispered i love you as many times as possible, feeling numb.

Mommy, can you hear me?
Please tell me you can hear the words, tell me you can hear my plea.
I am begging for God to save her as i sit at her bed.
I get there it was already too late, she was already trapped in her own head
My heart breaks as i beg you to stay, to hold on a little while longer.
I don’t know how to live without her, she always made me stronger.

I woke up at 01:00 am to a text saying she had passed.
I laid back down and felt like every breath i would take is my last.
I can still remember the way she looked, lifeless under a sheet.
The pain you feel, nothing can beat.
I hide the pain in a shattered smile, and sorrowful eyes.
I wonder if she is looking down listening to my cries.
