Immortal Mother

Born from your skin - the skin you raised me in

I had to let you go, I had to let your eternal life flow

I had to let you go; my now Immortal Mother.

I stay up late into the night looking for signs, I look for signs your alright;

We talked about you being on the other side,

So I stare into mirrors thinking your life is on the reverse side.

I’ve always heard there’s no loss like Mother;

I thought you and I had this all covered.

Remember, you raised me Mother; alone and separate –

although, you had sons, a daughter and your own Mother.

Now I understand life without Mother,

It’s cold and it hurts and I have urge to hug another ones Mother.

Can’t believe you’ve vanished into thin air;

My conversations with you now seem to go nowhere.

I expect a response but nothing is there - like thin air,

I get angry and feel you don’t care.

My life waits for a visit from Immortal Mother,

Like an open wound that’s left uncovered.

Nothing quite like the loss of Mother,

I’m so angry now because she loved like no other.
