A mother's pain

I wrote a poem about Mark just trying to cope 


Title: A mother's pain

I love you! I love you with my soul 

Which is why when I see that distant glare in your eyes ,it causes my heart pain

Once full of life I see you slipping away
mentally into a silent death growing cold

And there is nothing I can do!

It hurts to love you 

I keep seeing a funeral of the child I once had, now grown into a man. Drums playing, Weeping, and finally a Hurst. When I gave birth to you this is not how in my head our lives was rehearsed. 

I am in between, I am in tug of war, hanging on to the person you were and the one you could be.

Only saving you it isn't up to me. I sometimes rewind and take trips in the back my mind of, a baby me holding you 
looking into your eyes and stroking tiny hands and feet.  

You art the artwork of God ,  you are a present.

A gift if you will
Only presently the gift 
Somehow got tainted, by life and living
I beg with tears in my eyes to hold on to life and love will guide 
Life is a gift from God above to fall in love with yourself each and every day. 
I am a mother
a doctor
Lawyer
Comforter
Healer 
I don't know any other way to be
I love you so much my child that I'm losing me
