For My Mother

It was like a tidal wave

One day you were here

And the next you were gone

We did not get enough time together

All those wasted years

So much you won't see

I hate that you were taken

When I needed you the most

All alone when the world ended

I am still picking up the pieces

Breathing once again

But it will never be the same

Never to forget

That I write for you

For My Mother
