Mom! I call out a soft mummer among the buzzing in my mothers mind she doesn't hear clouded with the haze of drugs in her system Mama I cry a heart-wrenching sob I can't hold back as I choke on tears She hears me this time quick to my side hugging me tight as if something would shut out all my light "it's alright" she whispers Her voice now soft but not quite hers more of a hollow shell that I now recognize and i couldn't stop my words "why?" I ask she hugs me tighter but doesn't have an answer I think I know why though I don't think she knows I realize
