If you were here
Everything would be okay
That hole in my heart would be filled
But you are not here
And everything is not okay
It may have been 7 years
Since that sad day
But it feels like it was only yesterday
Losing your mom to cancer
Is not something you get over, ever
For when it happens
There is something missing in your life
From that day on
Something that can't be replaced
Though many will try to be a 'mom' to you
No one is your mom
I know that for a fact
I need a mom
But no one comes close to filling the gap
Only my mom can do that
But that is impossible now
Death was the only thing that could seperate us
The worst way to be seperated
For it is final until the day that death takes me
Which I pray is soon
I want to be with my mom
Where I don't have to battle this world
On my own

thank you for entering with this sad but lovely dedication to a beloved mother, i grew up without knowing the love of a mother but i will always miss that, the feeling never goes away, you are blessed to have had her if only for a short while, i hope that one day soon you will learn to look back with a smile and not tears.

I know this feeling all to well...My Grandmother passed a little over a year ago from cancer and it was and still is one of the hardest things I have ever had to deal with. I forced myself to not deal with reality and to not think of her being gone, because it hurt to bad to face reality... I learned that after a very long time of not facing what had happened I was only hurting myself more, because I never truly accepted it...and I know that she would not want me to hurt and she would want me to accept it to the best of my ability so that I can go on with my life and have a happy fullfilling life, just as I'm sure your mother would feel. I am still struggling with the lose of her but understand now that she is in a much better place with no illness and is happy...she is with me everyday all day...as I am sure your mother is too...
This is a very wonderfully written piece and truly written from your heart...Keep up the good work and I hope that you find peace again

I feel your pain, I too lost my mother to cancer, it was many years ago now but the pain is always the same. I miss just being able to ring her and ask advice. I am so sorry for your loss.

What a beautiful poem a dedication to your mum and the relationship you share with her. I dont understand how you feel I do know I am the mum to a young woman who sufered the same fate as you. I am her substitue but I know it is not what she really needs. You have penned a poem full of imagery and emotional love fueled with a pain a sorrow. Your ending so sad and you wait for the day when you will be with her again. I have one question for you...would your mum want you to go through life praying for your own end no matter how old you are now. I know I would not want this for my children. I hope you find peace in this life, very well crafted.

Blessed be, may the light shine upon you....the loneliness and despair felt from the heartache of loosing your mum is felt deeply here.. this is a very well expressed poem, with such sadness... I'm sure your not completely alone and that your mum lives in your heart and memories, forever... nicely written, well done!!

Bless you. You have packed so much emotion into this poem. I can feel it coming in waves off the screen. Losing your mum to cancer is not smeithing i would wish on anyone. Thankfuly my mum is ok. However, like everything, i hope that fate is not around the corner for her. A very good poem

This is such a nice tribute to your mom, even though it is sad, it shows how much you love and need her...those feelings never leave and even death cannot steal them from your heart.

OH MAN...
I know this feeling all too well...
I lost my Mommy to cancer of an unknown primary 18 months ago...and it feels like it was yesterday that I held her hand as she took her last breath. I understand everything you voice in this piece... especially feeling like you've been left for way too long on this earth without her...
feeling like an orphaned child...but being forced to act as if everything is okay and life goes on.
Very good...
hugs to you....

So sad
I like this indirect dedication to your mom. It puts things into perspective. I have always had my mom, but our relationship has always been shallow and pretentious...but, at least I do still have her...is my lesson learned here. Thanks!
If i could make a recommendation...I think line ten would have a stronger stance if it said "Is not something you get over. Ever." But, i can see that you really weren't too concerned with punctuation marks in this one. So, only my two cents.
*great job

If you were here

But you are not here
And everything is not okay
It may have been 7 years
Since that sad day
But it feels like it was only yesterday
Losing your mom to cancer
Is not something you get over, ever
For when it happens
There is something missing in your life
this was probably the best part!
go you!
keep it upp!
