I watch you hang up the phone
And you sigh as you turn to me.
Why, oh why, could you not
See?
The tears begin to fall from your face
And you gather me in your arms.
I tried so hard to make you sway
And yet your heart ended up being harmed.
Again.
Am I a good son?
Did I try hard enough?
How could I have been fooled by some
Underhanded bluff?
You loved him, you did,
But it was all just a lie.
And it made you insane-
Your sorrow made me cry.
And now you lie in a hospital bed,
Memories starting to fade away.
Your deterioration, I cannot bear;
Soon, I think my heart will decay.
You, my mother, I cherish the most
And I find that I hope miracles exist.
Please, just hang on for a little longer;
Your healing I truly persist.
Alone, by myself, I ponder your fate.
You did not deserve this state of affairs.
But through all the trauma and gloom,
You'll find I was the only one who cared.
I love you, Mom.
Artemis
