My Mum Is Gone

I walked up to her each step slow
deafened by the scream and mourn
I kneeled beside her low
deep was my sorrow yet numb

I reached to touch her, to feel
to my shock she was warm
maybe she was just still ill
hoping she really wasn’t gone

her skin was glowing bright
a half smile on her still pretty face
but still was her body and weight light
and didn’t respond to all the craze

she truly is gone
forever truly gone
