TO SAY "I LOVE YOU"

"I LOVE YOU"

I know you went to my grave today...
You knelt down and you cried...
heard you talking to that stone,,,
Please know I'm not inside
 
I hear you cry yourself to sleep...
Yet I am there at your side..
I know you want to run away...
But there is no where you can hide
 
I know I left any empty spot...
In your heart of gold...
I know how much that I am missed...
I saw everything unfold
 
I thought I catch the first rainbow...
And slide back down to you...
But it was just a one way ticket here...
Please believe me, cause it's true
 
I want so much to hug you..
And say I'm sorry for what I did...
Your to young to go through this...
Mom's should never bury their kid
 
You need to know that I am here...
I am standing by your side...
I want so bad to wipe your tears...
That fall out of your eyes
 
I wish I could take away the pain..
And all the heartache too...
But the one thing that I miss the most
Is saying  "I love you"

About the Author
I am a mother of 3... Minus one... Oh I hate the math part. My 20 year old Tommy, passed away in his sleep in his room on 3-30-09. Since then I have been struggling with grief...and I needed to deal with it. I grieved out loud...with words. I write poems on grief. If you liked the poem you just read, and would like to read more of my work, I have 3 books available at LULU.COM just look up my name GWENDY VANUCCI. I'm not out to make money off my sons death... I am out to help parents, grandparents, siblings, and friends...deal with the grief they feel. Grief is a normal healing process that we all go though. My journey with grief and my poems are a very raw look at all the stages we go through to hopefully feel whole again. I guess I have to keep writing, cause it's going on six years since my son passed, and it's hard to feel whole with a hole in my chest.
I'm Grieving, Now What?
