I Cry

I cry for you

In my sleep

I see your face

In my dreams

I miss you

More and more

Each day

Words can’t

Express my

Heartbreak

My pain

I shed silent tears

All alone in the dark

Of night

My sorrow

Grows

But they say

In time

Old wounds will

Heal

That somehow

Seconds, minutes, hours

Days, months, years

I won’t feel

The loss of you

My beautiful

Dear

Mother

I’m not the same

Lighthearted girl

That you once knew

A saddened soul

Now dwells

Where joy once

Bloomed

I long for the day

When we meet again

Until that day

To my

Chagrin

I must continue

To breathe
