She always seemed sad
and alone
but she loved reading
wonderful books
given to her
by her son.
he was ill
but
he loved books, too.
even became a
bookseller
although
he
wouldn't let me
pay for the
books he found for me.
he loved poetry.
now he is
in a hospital
because his mother
had to leave him
due to her
own illness.
And then she
died of a fall
and subsequent
pneumonia.
He has his sister
and brother left
but he doesn't
know his mother
is gone.
i feel so sorry!!
so sad!!

Aw. I hope that you can find something to fill that void left by the death....just nothing bad like cutting, drugs or booze. FInd something good and positive. A great write!

thanks for adding the parts about their love for books, and generosity, it gave a lot of depth to this write.

alot of emotion but written in a weird kinda frustrating way, i like it i would just get rid of the spaces, it makes the poem a labor to read since the reader has to scroll constantly dow the page, besides that its a sad story, one i hope will never happen to me or anybody i know, i feel bad for him even though i never met him.

We just found out a death happened to a friend of ours.It makes me sad.Just because it is a part of life does not make it any easier.It is hard to get through and to deal with.I am sorry for your loss and I pray things will eventually get better for you.
