If mom was here

If Mom Was Here

Written By Poet Nazir

 

I woke to the absence of the woman I love

There are stories told about her

She was magnificent with a glowing hair

Per the stories, her nature was as white as a dove

Now I’m up seeing things; I begin to wonder.

 

If mom was here

Would I still want to fall in love ?

For my heart to be ‘tennised’ while I weep

For my eyes to be watery because of weakness

Or I’ll just be human with less to worry ?

 

If mom was here

Would I need to wander about who to call for help?

For my dignity to be dragged in dirt

And my respect be clothed in a scruffy shirt

Or I’ll just be a human with less to worry?

 

If mom was here

Would I need to think too much?

For my brains to shatter with depression

And my heart to dwell in the crib of loneliness

Or I’ll just be a human with less to worry?

 

If mom was here

Would I need to depend on friends before I smile?

For their absence to cost me a fortune

And my hopes be implanted in their trust

Or I’ll just be a human with less to worry?

 

If mom was here

Would her family express their adoration?

Just like they’ve refused to when she’s gone

For them to put my plead to rest because she can’t hear

Or I’ll just be a human with less to worry?

 

If mom was here

Would she speak ill of me

Or watch me to dwell in the arms of neediness?

Would she attend to me like a mother

Or I’ll spend the rest of my life thinking if living was worth it..?

Rating: 4 out of 5.
