Just One Last Breath


Today I woke up in one hell of a scare
My life is broken and nobody cares
My mum is lying on the ground
She has passed out and I am the only one around
I pick her up and rest her head
“I’m sorry she whispers”, I tried to make the bed

My family doesn’t understand just how sick she is
They expect her to do it all but she’s tired warn out and lost her fizz
She has had cancer so many times; I’ve been by her side and dried up her tears
But this time its worse and I can’t handle my fears

I’m so scared she is going to die
I love her so much I can’t say goodbye
Please god you cant let her go
I’m afraid to tell you I need her so
I need her to hold my hand and tell me it’s all going to be okay
To promise she loves me in more than one way

A new day has dawned, my eyes closed tight
The young lady I love is dying with fright
She is my mum and I’m proud to say so
But this can’t go on she can’t leave me, I can’t let her go

Love this. So much emotion. Losing a mother is so sad. Great poem though.
