A year on

Last year, this time

My mother was alive

Last year, this night

I was not an orphaned child.


It's a year on the morrow...

Time hasn't flown

There has not been a day

Her demise, I haven't mourned.


Memories and thoughts

Are in a constant brawl... 

Some reminders, many regrets

Linger even as night falls.


Days were not enough

I will never be done

I cry as I reminisce

My mother,

...who'll never come.
