14 Years Without You...

*Another year without you mama...no touch, no hold* *Every night seem to be colder without you, I am cold* *It's 14 years now and counting since you left, leaving your clothes in fold* *There is no denying how warm you can be...a human of treasure and gold* *Time heals all wounds I've been told but how come this doesn't get healed with 14 years apart?* *It gets better with time, every time I have been told* *But this hasn't been easier because everything reminds me of you* *What's Mother's Day without you to wish* *I can't escape it even if I want to because everything points to you* *There is no day that your presence isn't missed, - every single day* *But there you are, six feets under... on the ground where you lay* *Just as the last full month you spent 14 years ago was in May* *You lived your life focused on God and what you can do, regardless of what others say* *You decided to work for God and joined the choir in your old age* *You sang your heart out to free yourself out of the cage* *You knew...you felt anew and you definitely turned the new page* *Your life is simple and you kept to yourself not wanting anyone to invade your space* *I have that bit about you - me to myself and guiding my place* 14 years ma...whooping 14 years, exactly today ma...exactly today. I don't get tired of writing and talking about you and dad. I wrote something similar to this some years back and I always find a way to tweak it and it still makes sense because I don't want to lose that bit part of the feelings I had when I wrote this poem. It's like I don't want to be out of touch with that feeling... guarding and guiding it with every ounce of blood in me. Sleep on, dearest mama. I loved you then, I love you now even with the distance between us and always will... *Thank you for your time.* *My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks. I am love's chemical content in human form and that's why I advise people to take a dose of "****Olawalium****" daily.* 🙈 Kindly follow me on Noise.App. https://noise.app/Olawalium
