The day I lost a part of me
That I never really got the chance to know
But despite that
This loss cuts deep into my soul
January 7th, 2016
The day my mother left me
And oh God does it sting
She was not there when I turned sixteen
She will not be there to look at pictures from my junior and senior prom
Or watch me get married and be there when I myself become a mom
January 7th, 2016
A day my father was not there for me
Because he was too afraid to see
My mother lying cold in that hospital bed
Did not want to acknowledge that she was dead
January 7th, 2016
A date that will forever linger over me
That still brings me dreams
No
Not dreams
Nightmares
Haunting images of that vacant stare
That my mother wore
All of us knowing what was in store
That there was little to no hope
The nurses tried to help us cope
But didn't really succeed
