Farewell to my Mother
Farewell to my mother,
who once was so bright,
gone to a world that is grey without light.
Gone is the laughter,
the jokes until tears,
Replaced by her demons,
insecurities and fears.
There is chaos and blackness,
that lives in her mind,
a daughter who loves her is left behind.
The injury that caused her reasoning to part,
poisons my thoughts of her,
breaking my heart.
To love her anyway is as hard as steel,
but she is my mother,
thats part of the deal.
I want to believe that one day she'll be back,
then another day comes,
another mindless attack.
She has no control over impulse or act,
Never sorry nor ability to retract.
Her mothers touch and I love you smile
have been lost to me for such a long while.
Farewell to the mother that I once knew,
you may never know it,
but I still love you.

This is beautiful Sara. One day she will return . I know I keep saying give it time, but time is all we have and our brain has to heal. Hope you read the poem I sent to Sallina. It is in recovery4mom file. Carol
