Love lost Life forgiven



My tenses keep me awake
Oh my what to bake

Bake a cake
Bake a "deal"
Don't steal

Life is forgiven when all that's lost is found
Why did I have to put you in the ground

My son
My friend
When will the pain ever end

End with a kiss on the forehead
Right between your eyes
Oh dear God let him see life

Life after death
When will it be
When I'm 21 mom
All alone to be

Be not afraid he said
Why did I go

He said one more day mom
Then you'll know

My pain will be gone
But my love remains

Remains on that love
You place on my head

I love you mom

About this poem

My life has been a whirlwind of loss, stress, striff and just life I guess. This is my outlet to live as honest as possible. It's all I have left. My honesty.
