A Piece Of Me On The Other Side Of The Glass Poem by Naomi Waters
A Piece Of Me On The Other Side Of The Glass
If this glass was not between us
Then my dear we could touch
But the doctors have warned me of the consequences of this wish
They shattered my spirit with their heart breaking news
I am not allowed to hold you in my arms
Or sing you a lullaby while I rock you to sleep
I wont even be able to watch you grow up
Because you're running out of time
I've been told over and over again
That I won't be a mother for much longer
I'm losing you and there's nothing I can do to stop it
My precious daughter
My darling baby
You are fading away
And with every day that passes you slip further into death
Into a deep, dark slumber which you will never wake from
God, I beg of you to let me keep my child
The little one that you are taking from me forever
It isn't fair
Then again, life isn't fair
I was a fool to ever believe it was
Yes my girl, sweetie, I know you're dying, the fact is crystal clear, but I wont accept it
The moment you breathe your last
I will give in to my desires
As I follow you to the next life
A mother's love is a force to be reckoned with
Something that cannot be stopped
My husband
Your father
Will be leaving two bodies behind in the cemetery
When the reaper takes us both to the golden gates
There we will stay together as a broken, a not yet whole, family
Until my other half comes to join us there
This poem pierced my heart while I was reading it. I hope, you haven't written it on real life experience. Even it be so, you must have known some mother who has had this kind of experience. My heartfelt sympathy for her! 'A mother's love is a force to be reckoned with Something that cannot be stopped' - it is known to all, but your emphatic assertion makes one feel how true it is!
I actually haven't experienced this. But I have had several people tell me that I am good at writing from the experience of another. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to comment!
