Love and loss

Love and loss

I was a happy child spoilt and clever,
At 7yrs old i thought it'd last forever,
Then mum got sick and stayed in bed,
Cancer took over im dying she said,
By 10yrs old i was caring for her,
The doctors said there is no cure,
7 years later at seventeen,
She went, she died, Her last breath i seen,
My dad was lost, alone and sad,
Then it got worse, It went really bad,
Because 3yrs later,He also got sick,
He went into hospital and died really quick,
I was alone and scared, Didnt know what to think,
I wanted to drown, Dive in water and sink,
I sank into sadness, Sank into depression,
This is my personal confession,
20yrs later the pain is the same,
This is my truth, its not a game,
Sadness, resentment, and all of the emotion,
I'll love them forever with all my devotion,
But im angry they left me, and thats me being real,
Its different everyday to how i feel,
I still hear their voices, still smell their skin;
They were my parents the most amazing kin,
I wish they were here to see my success,
With the talent for writing that i possess.

Hello Sharon...

I'm so sorry for all you have had to endure...

My parents died 2 months apart but, I was I in my 30's not as young as you were...

It's a lot to handle especially, if you were close...

It's very sad when a very young child loses their parents for any reason...

When I lost my parents my thoughts went to the little children...

I was grown and it's different...

20 is still very young too...

I'm sure your Angels are very proud of you...

As long as they stay in your heart you carry them with you...

Beautiful and sad write!

Thank you for sharing...
