Orphan
I tried to wrap my head around,
The six months we were told.
But it wasn't more than six weeks,
Before she was gone and cold.
She was my very best friend,
She was my rock.
I wasn't with her in the end,
My heart can't stand this shock!
She will never leave my heart,
She is always on my mind.
I have no clue how "restart",
No clue how to move on.
This loss has left me numb.
I am officially an orphan,
Though I know it sounds dumb,
Coming from a grown adult.
There is no longer any "glue",
To hold me together.
I have no bloody clue,
How to live without her.
My mother was my best friend,
She was my rock.
I pray daily that the pain will end,
And this orphan will begin to heal.
