Drowning in your sorrows
Does it not make your heart feel hollow?
That feeling of emptiness once you finish that bottle and now your thoughts are more awful.
Your words bite me but yeah your message has been received.
Your tongue becomes toxic and your venom is making me grieve
Grieving for the mother that went astray, I wished the old you could've had stayed.
That sweet soul that is now out of control; now your heart is made out of coal.
Your eyes burn through mine as you scream and cry, while you wait for me to give you a reply.
I have nothing to say except
I wish I didn't have to see my mother this way.
This piece reflects the pain of watching a loved one, especially a mother, spiral into a version of themselves that feels unrecognizable. It captures the grief of losing someone emotionally while they are still physically present. “Mothers Lost” explores themes of addiction, emotional absence, and the silent mourning that comes with watching someone you love change beyond recognition. It’s a letter of love, loss, and longing.
