Chill pop music from an old playlist
Massages my ears and warms my heart,
A quote reads "live, don't just exist"
But the difference between them keeps growing far apart.
I open my window and the sky smiles back,
The birds go roving and the sun stares down,
It's another mother's day and the posts and thoughts attack
And with nothing left to do, I let my mind drown.
The memories and fun try to come back,
A time when I had you smiling down at me,
Along the line I see a void that's black,
A place in my life where I wanted you to be.
Like holes and ripples I'll go deeper and farther
In a life full of struggles and dreams I only see,
I know you hear me mum and do say hi to father,
For I hope to join you as soon as I'm done and free.
The days will crawl on while the hole stays open,
I long to hear your songs and feel your warming hugs,
Though most days are good and most days are broken,
I know you'll always be there through the struggles and the bugs.
-happy mother's day
