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.
