Now You’re Gone

apete4010

I feel the ache of your absence

In every day

I have good days and I smile thinking of you

Laugh at the good times we had and I hear your voice in my head

Then it hits me just as I’m going to ring you

You’re gone and I will never hear your voice again

I will never feel your hugs

The tears come and I can be anywhere the bus , the supermarket and I try to hold them back , it’s futile .

Even though I’m a grown woman with a grown daughter of my own

I just want my mum to give me a hug and tell me the pain will dull at some point

Now you’re gone I wish I could speak with you even more 

-Angelina Galeano-

    Full of the feeling of loss that only a gone Mum can leave behind - my heart goes out to you in your relentless grief dear poet-friend........ keeping the writing going does help to a measure. Hugs of condolence - - from Fay xx

      A thoughtful write A. The title says 'Not You're Gone'. Could be OK, meaning you still sense your Mum's presence somehow. Or change the 'Not' to 'Now'?
