Numb

Sad poem...
As I lie awake at night, I feel a tear run down my face.
the pain I feel so deep inside is sharper than any double-edged sword.
There’s numbness inside my heart, an emptiness that seems to never be filled,
a darkness I want to get rid of. I feel so cold.
My soul yearns for happiness that it once knew.
It's all because of her...my mother.
I will never get to see her smile or hear her laughter
or get a loving kiss on my forehead as she tells me how much she loves me.
I’ve been torn from her presence, separated for eternity,
blocked from her nurturing love.
Oh how I wish to see her face even if it is but a glimpse.
But it can never be so. I am forever separated.
