Tears, a Poem

I came across this the whilst looking for something else. It’s never been published before.

The pain of losing a parent is hard and I can almost hear the rawness of these words. Or, maybe it’s remembering how bad it felt that September day in 2010. Not only did I lose my mum that same month, but my dad too. Without a doubt it was the worst period of my life.

Crying,
It hurts
Deep inside
It hurts
Tears,
Loss,
Torn inside.
Bereft.
How can I stop crying?
How can I stop hurting?
Intense, pain all the time
Will it ever go?
Mum? My Mum, my lovely Mum
I want you back, you’re part of me.
You’re always there, now you’re not.
Please, Mummy, I’m still a little girl,
Deep inside,
My mother’s little girl
My Mum,
My tears,
My hurt, forever…….
