Words Just Don'T Fully Express How I Feel Poem by mona martinez

I didn't think it would be this hard,
but the memories are clear,
they run through my mind,
you are no longer by my side,
it hurts like hell,
I lost my best friend,
the one I was able to talk to,
one who knew about the abuse,
and knew the reasons,
of why I acted certain ways,
when I was in pain,
I didn't need words to speak,
you understood me,
like any mother,
should read her daughter,
you gave me such strength,
when you were by my side,
I feel so lost,
I feel like a part of me is missing,
you always knew what to say,
to make me feel better,
you always chased the monsters away,
at night you protected me to the fullest,
feels like I didn't get enough time with you,
now that it all gone,
I think back,
and I think of all the moments,
that I have took for granted,
and know I will never get those back,
it hurts,
you only get one mother,
once she gone,
a part of you dies with her,
the day she goes too,
I guess it's life.
