Time Passes, Memories Remain

...

...

Days blend together, yet your eyes remain,

Frozen in time, in pictures on my wall, a bittersweet refrain.

My heart yearns for you, my child, my guiding light,

In your absence, darkness takes hold, and I'm lost in the night.

Some days, like today, I'm overwhelmed with emotion,

I ache to hold you close, to hear your voice, your gentle devotion.

I need to smell the scent of your skin, to feel your loving touch,

My heart, once whole, now shattered, yearning for the love we shared so much.

I'm trying to mend my heart, but it's a futile attempt,

No tape, no glue can repair the damage, the ache that will not relent.

Baby, Mommy misses you more than words can say,

I'm drowning in grief, struggling to stay afloat each passing day.

I keep busy to distract myself from the pain,

Afraid to confront the emotions that threaten to consume me whole.

But even with Gigi's prayers covering me, the ache remains,

My heart, ripped from my chest, leaves me bleeding, drained of life's sustenance.

How much blood can one human carry? I'm bleeding...I'm drained, empty, and bare,

My love for you, Baby, remains, a constant, a love beyond compare.

I love you, my child, more than words can express,

In your absence, I'm left with just this hollow, gnawing distress.
