RIP Anita Nelson

by MartyrAmanda   Sep 21, 2008


Remembering,
her hands,
her fingernails,

black on the underside,
and i...
i am soaked with lies

"I'm fine"
i cry
out to the rest of them

as their she lay
dying in a hospital DAMMED with pain

and as i say,
that I'm ok
i find myself,
in that bed as her inner soul

i feel as though
i have hurt her
and it is MY fault

-------------------------------

it has now moved to her brain
another tumor
another day

her liver shutting down
my mother
is about to drown

i want to save her
i want to breathe
what will i do
if she's not next to me?

her skin is turning yellow
her liver now dead,
her eyes discolored with fright

she knows she's going
but she cannot speak
--------------------------------------
the doctors say
she has a few days
how do i feel?
what do i say?
does my opinion matter anyway?

something warm running down my cheek,
another tear
my strength is bleak,

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!?!
i cannot feel,
i cannot scream!
i feel the shame!
i feel HER pain!

whats wrong with me

why do i run away!

IN MY MOTHERS OWN FINAL DAYS!
--------------------------------------------
they send back to the nursing home
only 42 years young
this is way to early
she's way to young

and I'm only 15,
how do i live with out a mother?
-----------------------------------------
the one day i do not go to see her,
so i can rest,
my mother takes
her final breaths,
their deep and long
and they finally slow,
and then her pain and hurt,
finally goes,

it was around 1:30 a.m.
on a Saturday morning
she was finally free
and i know she loves me,
and i love her too,

so she's in god's hands now,
free from pain,
no tears in heaven,
no more fear,

i love you mom
and i know your near,

I'll see you again one day,
