I'm So Alone After Mom Died

©

Published by Family Friend Poems December 2007 with permission of the Author.

I'm so alone, it's so dark...
When is the sun going to shine again?

The sky is dark, my world is grey....
When are the flowers going to bloom and make this hurt go away?

My mommy is gone, I feel her presence...
The thought of not seeing her again takes my breath away.

The hurt, the pain, I cannot describe...
It's like my blood quit flowing inside.

I wake up each morning to begin a new day
In hopes that this hollow feeling will go away.

My thoughts of my Mommy bring happiness and peace...
Then the truth overcomes, and I feel so incomplete.

I know she loves me, and she is free of pain,
But I would love to see her again.

I'm so alone, it's so dark...
When is the sun going to shine again?

I lost my Mama on August 19, 1994. I can relate to this poem so much. I miss my mother still so much even after all these years. I was an only child, so I was probably even closer to my Mama than usual. My tears still shed for her. Thank you for sharing this poem. The girl who wrote it knew the exact words to use and the same kind of pain...

Tears rolled down from my eyes, really heart touching. I, too, lost my mom recently, so I know the pain.

Thank you for the beautiful poem. I lost my mother on January 2012 to breast cancer that later spread all through out her body. It's been almost a year and I still feel like a zombie walking through this world. I feel so empty, so alone. I have lost every bit of confidence in myself. Even though I have two kids and a husband, without her I am miserable. I pray for a sign, a whisper, a soft wind, anything, anything to show me that she is still here with me. I feel like I can't go on. I'm desperate to be with her again. Oh Lord, please take me to my mommy, let me see her, let me smell her, let me touch her one more time, I beg. I can't go on, my life is over without her. Mom I love you so much. Please come back to me.

This poem, describes my feelings. I am 12, my mother died December 20, 2010. It broke my heart. I feel like saying "hey mom" everytime something reminds me of her... She was that one person, whenever I got stuck in a tree she was there. It's only been almost 2 years but I still remember waking up that morning. I hate " Yo Mama" jokes. I just wanna cry... Just because they don't know the pain! I love you mommy. In my heart forever...

I really love this poem? Who wrote this poem. God bless the girl who did it. My mom did not really die but I left her back in Africa, now I want to see her again. I love my mom and the girl who wrote this.

Good poem indeed, 5 months after my mum's death I am still hurting inside, I cry myself to sleep every night and it gets worse every day. I wish to wake one morning just to realize that I've been dreaming all this time. I miss her, a good friend, a great mother.

I lost my mother September 26, 2008 also from lung cancer. This poem really explains how it feels to loose your mother. God Bless the girl who wrote it. It is sad but oh so beautiful.
