Mom Poem by Luis Steven

No one can fill the void that you left
I have this gaping hole in my chest
I spend my nights awake while I weep
I'm having so much trouble falling asleep

I wish you were here, by my side
To tell me that I don't have to fear, it'll be alright

I love you more than you will ever know
I know I never really let that show
I know we didn't talk much the last couple of years
And I'll always regret that
You were always there to silence my tears
And I'll never forget that

I have no one to talk to who understands
I wish I could feel the warmth of your hands

Although we're miles apart
I still keep you in my heart
I cherish everything you ever game me
Back then I didn't see
How much you really meant to me

It's been awhile since you've passed
But the memories still last
I wish I could go back and slow down our time together
So it doesn't go by so fast
