I can't say goodbye!!
I just can't bring myself to do it.I don't know if i ever will be.
What little bits i have left of you are all of me.
All i know.
And if i let you go, then i fear the stuff i will see.
I fear that i will be empty.
That i won't feel your courage and Hope guiding me.
I won't feel you next to me.
Don't you understand!
That without you i am doomed
Standing in quicksand, with no help...
No way out.
However much i scream and shout.
So Please Forgive me Mum for keeping hold of you...
As just the thought of letting you go...
Letting go of my memories of you...
Is the last thing on this earth i would willingly ever do.

Wonderful emotive write.
Welcome to MPS.
The irreplaceable love for mum cries sad tears from your words today.
Mum doesn't want her daughter to be weak and reliant. Be strong and proud of her love, closeness, caring, empathy and giving. In all that she has shown you she will never truly leave your mind. As much as she gave life to you, you gave life to her existence and your turn will come to be mum and do the mum thing.
You will always have mum memory. Be proud to be the daughter of a woman who engendered so much love .. take it with you into the world.
A big welcome to you. This place is at it's best when you and me and all of us interact by reading each others posts and leaving comments such as mine today. Please feel free to have a look at something of mine and rip it to pieces or whatever.
ANGELA HERE - Good Evening Flamingo welcome to MPS. It is a proactive site and operates by reading & commenting on each others Poems. There are some very pood Poets & Poems. I have been married to BRIAN for six weeks and prior to that I was living with My Parents. My Papa is Spanish & My Mama English - I was raised in England (London).

Because I was part of her houeshold I see her regularly but we meet & eat in the Garden ! I am a Physiotherapist but work with Orthopedic Patients rather than with COVID 19 Patients.
