Hundreds of miles away
My mother is in agony
Her mother crossing a "final threshold" into
Stillness and Peace
My mind is drowning
A dull deafening hum
That shuts out the world
Boxes me in
I keep thinking
"Why isn't this affecting me more?"
Just a blank stare and a refusal
To feel, a voice inside says
"Don't say Anything"
Right here, right now
I am melancholy
Waiting for the call, to bring me home
To watch her get tucked in to the last bed she'll need
With her name and a nice message on the headboard
Knowing that a part of her will always be
Riding passenger in the cab of my car
The car she loved so much
Because it drives like freedom
Mile after Mile
Hundreds of Miles
"Don't say Anything"
Stillness and Peace
