This Loneliness
Dear mother I thought you will be here forever
Dad passed away, still I thought life will go on as usual
I did not realize how alone you will be
I lost a father but you a lifelong partner
More than I had you, a husband you had was not there
The age made you grumpy and the struggle of life made me empty
A busy life made me take life for granted
Your advices went unheeded, your experience invaluable
Seeing friends and relatives leave this world, still I thought you will always be here, not to know that life takes a turn unexpectedly
In sickness I thought you will get well, unknown to me what tomorrow held
Wishing I had done more, opened up freely, expressed my love without bounds, kissed and hugged you more
I don’t know how to make up, I fear this was the only chance
What remains is a prayer for forgiveness, a prayer of being a family again.
