Time passes on without you...


I heard a car alarm go off
At least once this hour..

And once a week this spring
The rain on my head, will shower..

The fire trucks rushed by my house
I think twice tonight..

And seeking warmth this winter
Hundreds of geese will have taken flight..

Maybe just once, this year, I noticed
A flag flying half-mast..

But everyday after school
The kids around me
Are having a blast..

Yet in my own little world
That has me jailed in increments of time..
I'm prisoner
In a clock
-Frozen-
Never a forward wind..

Leaving me
To notice
You
Each second
Of each minute
Of every hour
And this day
Of all week
Is a month
That is like dust
Blowing by a year..

I have thought of you
And from you
I did not hear..

So I whispered prayers
Screamed through tears
Talked to walls
Begged
My God
Let this not turn to years..

You must know
Without you
I am beyond my own despair
In a barren land
With breaths not taken
My heart crystallized
Frozen around the breaking
Time has
Stopped
I wear my prison suit to bed
Struck down
Alone
With thoughts of you
Trapped
Bouncing
In my head..

I miss you so much, my beautiful ones
I hope someday you can find it your hearts to forgive me
For I am so tragically flawed and human..
love for always..
Mom
