"Life's Not Fair," You Said.

One thing ripped from another.
Petal from stem.
Heart from chest.
There will never be a better best.
Loves and aches.
Daughter and mother.
One cannot survive without the other.
Hugs to tears.
Mother to son.
You will forever be my only one.
Your hand to teach.
Your hand to hold.
You came to protect us from the cold
You aren't gone.
You aren't here.
I'm still holding one last tear.
Hold it in.
Breathe a shout.
All the candles have been put out.
Every time.
Every year.
To always hold you close and dear.
Not another holiday.
Not another season.
Knowing I'm here for the wrong reason.
I will see you again one day.
With no words on our lips to say.
Smiles on our faces.
Tears streaming down.
Seeing you with a beautiful golden crown.
I hope it's not too soon.
But then again,
Yes I do.
