Student Poem

A brilliant and touching new poem by an S2S member:

Soon

By Brittany

I don’t want to write

I want my feelings to stay

I’m mad at you all

Who can I trust?

Since you left

I have been a mess

You left me here

It’s been a week

Maybe to learn

Or to be safe

Maybe even just to grow up

I wish to be with you

No more staying up late

I love you when you are awake

Tears are often

When will soon be here?

My heart weakens

It’s been working over time

My body aches

How much longer do I have to wait for a hug from just you?

I took you for granted

I should have never done it

I know your last photos taken

Was the best time of our lives

You were really happy that night

I was too just watching you

I let you leave one Thursday evening

To go fishing

I didn’t stop you

I knew you needed time to think

A few days had gone by very fast

I couldn’t resist looking at the past

Pictures and movies of you

Made me feel you were here giving me a real hug

Like you always do

But now looking back

There are no pictures of just us

I wish there was

So I don’t have to pause reality

To think of our time together

I’m OK right now

Learning about you through another persons eyes

I can’t wait to see yours

Light up and cry

Like mother like daughter

We will see each other soon

Listen to each other speak on the phone every single day

Until the heart of the future takes its last beat

I love you more then the amount of breaths it will ever take

I love you mom
