But Mom

I know you don’t think they should be falling
But mom the tears won’t stop,
I know you don’t think it should hurt
But mom my chest still throbs,
I know you don’t think it should affect me
But mom is rerouted my veins,
I know you don’t think I should miss him
But mom he’s gone and he’s not coming back,
I know you don’t understand
But mom he died and I’m still here,
You forbade me from saying good-bye
Forbade me from reality
When for the first time my eyes were wide open to it.
