So Far So Close

Your tears fall so hopelessly from your face, 

You wrap your arms around me in desperation, 

Your smile hurts me so deeply, 

Your hazel eyes filled with tears grasp me and hold me, 

I am pulled underneath your swaying sadness, 

I wish you were happy, 

I wish you would love yourself, 

I wish you didn’t worry so much, 

We will be together again one day, 

I love you, Mom
