GOING HOME

I want to tell you what I did today Who I met and where I went About the new dress I bought How much I spent I want to tell you about the film I seen And the latest scandal about "you know who" I want to tell you about the book I'm reading When I'm finished, I will give it to you I want to tell you how much I miss you The emptiness I feel deep inside The hopeless feeling, the desperate pain I am finding it hard to hide But I will visit you every day & tell you who I met And you will reply "am I going home to-day" I will say "No,mammy, not yet I will tell you about my new dress About how much it cost You will tell me about your handbag you think it might be lost I will tell you about the latest film It was shown in 3D You will tell me how no one in this place Will give you a cup of tea I will tell you all about my book You always loved a good romance You will ask me if I have seen Your mother by any chance I will tell you who got married, who turned twenty one And guess who had a baby "will I be going home next week"? "I'm not sure yet, Mam, maybe" Sometimes I show you an old photograph Your eyes light up & I see you smile "STAY WITH ME,MAM, PLEASE STAY, I want to talk to you for a while But in an instant you are gone Now there is just a blank stare I WANT TO SHOUT, I WANT TO SCREAM I WANT TO KICK THE STUPID CHAIR Instead I kiss you on the forehead My heart is filled with anger & with sorow I whisper "I Love you mam" as I leave "I will see you, please God, tomorrow..

so well done, Anne I was totally immersed in the narrative, and thinking about my mom as well, seeing the aging process first hand is frightening at times and a blessing as well....you wrote this brilliantly, excellent formatting that relate so well with the dialogue, powerful and insightful, cheers poet and welcome
Thank you so much, I really appreciate the feedback.
Hi Anne A piece, I guess many could relate to...
To see your Mam Forget you, has to be heartbreaking
I love the format you used,
