Sacred Bond
No words to ever be exchanged
No embraces to ever be shared
My mind is burdened with these thoughts
And no one's ever seemed to care
Or ask
Or try to understand
All I recieve are "I'm sorry"
And then I'm back on remand
For this pain
That never goes away
I'm haunted by these thoughts
That always make way
To consume my day
People race
To fill your place
But each attempt feels a disgrace
Because who could ever replace
The expression on a mothers face
When I tell you of my first love,
Of my first heartbreak
Of all my sweet victories
And all my sorry mistakes?
The answer is no one
So where does that leave me?
Drowning in the sorrow of my own self pity?
Composing possiblities of what could be
If you were to never leave?
Or do all these fantasies
Really prove me naive?

My mom passed away when I was a baby. Growing up without a mom has been very difficult for me, and progressivly gets harder as time goes on. This poem sort of reflects my pain of not having a mother to console in, and trying to accept that I'll never have the opprotunity to experience her physical presence, regardless of how many people attempt to take on the role of a mother figure in my life.
