In Loving Memory

Dedicated to my mom who was my best friend. 

Even though 

It’s been so long

I still sit here

Not able to say

Goodbye to the woman

Who made me today.

Selfish and shameful

I know it is to say

But I just want 

To grab on

And hold on 

For one more day.

I can talk and talk

And go on about my day

But each time I start to leave here

Those words I cannot say.
