600 days

May 16th of this year marked the 600th day since my Mom's passing.  This poem I wrote explains it all.....




600 days...of loneliness

600 days...of remembering your smell

600 days...of regret

600 days...of dreaming of the past

600 days...of a broken heart

600 days...of staring at your headstone

600 days...of endless tears

600 days...of not believing you are gone

600 days...of missing your voice

600 days...of needing your advice

600 days...of wishing for one more day

600 days...of wondering why
                                            you
                                                  had
                                                         to
                                                             leave
                                                                      so
                                                                           soon.
