“A Mother’s Tears”
Cry out loud
Cry alone
where all and no one can hear.
It’s a grief
few understand
and fewer want to.
Her son died suddenly
and
it’s something
no mother should endure.
I told her so.
I told her to grieve.
I hope she does because
I cried as I heard
her suffer
and mourn.
this night
this night
that will never end.
