Burned Memories

My heart once fluttered,
Now stone cold to touch.
Where birds once sang,
No longer in my clutch.

Loyal companion now gone,
Best friend no longer.
Heaven stole you away,
Hatred grows stronger.

"Why did he die mommy?"
His patients growing thin.
Body trembles, touches ground,
Tears stream deep within,

Uncontrollable twitches,
Confusion in his eyes.
"Why wont he get up",
A stranger to goodbyes.

"Make him better mommy",
Band aid now in hand.
Trying hard to explain,
Simply couldn't understand.

"Here let me help you",
Hands shake with frustration.
His arms wrap around him,
Hoping to feel some vibration.

"Hunny he's gone to heaven",
His head shakes with disbelief.
Scooping him up in my arms,
Sobbing limp as a leaf.

Tomorrow will come and go,
The pain will slowly heal.
Nothing will make me forget,
The day my son lost Steel.
