A Mother's Cry

Colors of dark grey and black fill the world in which I live 
No other feeling could possibly be worse than this 
Where once was a room filled with laughter and cheer 
Now stands loneliness, emptiness, and despair. 

Memories of you seem to creep around the corners of my mind 
Endless haunting images of your face that won't decline 
An overwhelming of emotion that my body can't contain 
Fills my soul with unbearable grief, sorrow, and pain 

Oh, how I long to hold you in my arms just once more 
And tell you that things will be again, as they were before 
But, as reality sinks in, I know that will never be 
For the choices that I've made in my life have sealed our destiny 

No one could ever fathom how wretchedly my heart aches 
And how I greatly regret that you've had to pay for my mistakes 
If I could go back in time, and change only one wrong that I've done 
I'd go back to the hour, to the second, on the day I lost you. 
My Son.
