Dear Mother

Dear mother

I know that he is dying,

I heard you on the phone

I know that you were crying,

I felt it in my bones

I know your heart is breaking,

for mine is breaking too.

You know that he is dying,

but you don't know that I know too.

I know how much you love him,

for I love him as well,

and I know this secret your keeping

But your not keeping it very well

I know your life is broken,

can't you see that I am in the same life as you.

You know what I do,

but not that I do.

I know that he is dying

I know that he is ill

I know that he is working on

Writing his will

I know his skin is yellow

And I know where you go

When you say your going shopping

Your not going to the store

When you come home with no groceries

But tears on your face

I know that he is dying

And soon will be in a better place

Dear mother I know he is dying

Can't you see that I know

Can't you see my heart collapsing

Silently begging him not to go

Dear mother I know that he is dying

Can't you tell that I have been crying

Don't you realize that you are lying

Because I know that he is dying

Dear mother
