It started so early,
this feeling of lonliness and loss.

Nightmares at 9 of being drowned in a trunk,
screaming, "Please don't throw me away".

Abandonded at 13,
my soul raped not far behind.

Scratched and clawed,
till I found my out.

Saw some daylight,
never gave up.

Vowed my life at 21,
but all the other women burnt out my light.

I wanted so bad then,
to just give up the fight.

Life went on,
joy and pain passed through.

But nothing can compare,
to the day I lost you.

From there it went so fast,
spiralling to unknown depths.

Loved ones, Marriage and Career,
one by one they dissappeared.

It wasn't a long road,
it all went within 2 years.

I somehow found my way home,
to spend the next years alone.

Grieving for all the loss,
and trying to hold on.

But an emptiness still lingers,
because you are still gone.

This poem was inspired by my life and the loss of my mother.  She was my best friend in this world.
