R.I.P. Mom Poem by Carrie Salazar

I remember wrestling with you
it was a time where we were getting along
I remember playing cards with you
it was before all the fighting

It was before all the hurt
it was before all the pain we caused each other
it was before everything that was said
it was when we showed our love in our crazy way

I remember the night I left
the night that started the battle
I remember all the awful things we did and said to each other
all those nights crying wishing we were ok

I wish now that we would of worked it out
I wish we could of just told each other we loved each other one more time
I wish we never fought like we did
I wish I knew that you would be gone forever soon

All the fighting, it was not worth it
all the hate all the words all the anger
it was not worth it
all of it was not worth losing each other over

I know you loved me
I know you were sick
I love you and I am sorry
I know you know that now

love you mom. R.I.P.
