For my mom, a year later

Though words cannot adequately express how i feel, I tried anyway...

A year without rain, my soul is in drought
A year without sunshine, because I'm without
My mother, my all
I long for your call

The colours seeped out of my world
Everything faded to grey
It seems happiness was silenced
A year ago today

The pain is still unbearable
The sorrow still deep
Though I know God has his plans
I wish you were ours to keep

A broken version of the girl you raised
I'm not really myself any longer
Only having you back
Could make me feel stronger

You didn't just leave a void
We didn't just lose a mom
Dad didn't just lose a wife
We lost our whole life.
