Goodbyes aren't forever

For my mother R.I.P

I saw your ghost today
I resemble you in every way
your hair, your smell, your laugh, your smile
I’ll keep this dream for a while
 
I feel you with me while I sleep
to consciousness I dare not creep
Our times together keep me warm
while these voices here are not the norm
 
I’m losing grip as you start to fall
just stay with me, we can have it all
I reach for you but its too late
this is when I start to wake
 
I dream of you but it must be real
your hand in mine I swear I feel
Please stay with me a few more years
my body can’t hold back these tears
 
Your memory lingers, I feel you lurking
but it seems your heart is not quite working
They say you died four years ago
I just can’t seem to let you go
 
Hold me tight and don’t let go
you’ll love me always this I know
We say Goodbye its time to leave
only now can I start to grieve
 
Its time to put my pen away
but my love for you will always stay
Your story stops and mine begins
don’t worry Mom, I’ll see you again.
