Wake Up

Hey mom, will you wake up?
I just need to let you know
All the feelings I do not show,
It’s just that they run so deep.
I bet you are tired so I will let you sleep.

Is it ok if I continue to talk?
I know your subconscious is like a hawk
So I will just talk and hope you hear
That loosing you is my biggest fear.

I forgive all those times you yelled at me
And all those times we disagreed.
I know you were just trying to protect me
But it’s ok now because you helped me see.

Hey mom, why does not your chest
Seem to take any breaths?
And why do you feel so cold
You did not always look this old.

Mom, you do not look so good
You are sleeping like you should
But you have never looked like this before
Because I can usually hear you snore.

But you are not making any noise
Where is the woman with the perfect poise?
Why are you slumped that way?
Cannot you hear anything I say?

Mom, stop it you are scaring me
I do not think I could let you go free.
Not now, not today
It’s not your time to stray away.

No!
I will not let you go!
I am begging you to wake up now,
Please find the will some how.

How can you let your daughter cry like this?
Cannot you sense that something is amiss?
This is the final time I will ask,
Wake up because I cannot let you pass.
