The Silence
The silence has become so real
the emotions all running wild with what I feel
you were once a real part of me inside
but choices that were made meant you must hide
Saying sorry doesn't cut it enough
Making this decision was certainly tough
Inside there is emptiness beyond compare
and emptiness that was once filled with you there
Life sometimes hands you a bad deal
But as much as we like to think of life as a game, decisions made are very real
some of the choices we have made haven't always been the best
Life's mission will always throw you some kind of test
Some that you will fail at and some you will pass
some that will be forgotten and some that will last
and now that you’re gone there will be no signification of your existence
Except for what is in my heart and mind that all memories will be persistent
The thought of you will always stay fresh
for even without you with me I have been blessed
for a brief moment in time you were a part of me
for a brief moment I was the mom you needed me to be
Someone to carry you even if only for a while
Someone to know you were real and not in denial
Although there will be no touching you and holding you
In my mind I have held you I have sang to you and I have loved you
Time will only tell if I will be at ease with this choice in my mind
but one thing will never change for a brief moment in time you were mine
Let me attempt to say sorry to you with all my heart
Let me attempt to say sorry for the life that you had no part
Let me attempt to try to make you understand
that sometimes things are out of our hands
for now I will say goodbye with a sad heart
but this poem is for you so that your memory forever in my life will have a part
