As she gently stroked her son's face, his tiny hand softly wrapped around her thumb.

Her brain addled by the poison she took when he passed, this memory was one of the only things she had left to cling to.

Every mother's day I remember you and cry.

This year I felt nothing at all.

Why have you left me alone here.

Was that enlightenment worth leaving me alone?

"You're Just Like Mama!", I Heard My Little Brother Say As Blood Drips Down From His Forehead.

I Stare At The Broken Alcohol Glass On The Ground, As I Realize That He'll Always Remind Me Of Myself With The Stitches He'll Soon Have.

You told me you loved me and how much I meant to you.

But sober you said it wasn’t true.

"Remember", she joked, "that I love that car almost as much as I love you".

After, when she learned that a tanker truck had crossed the center line, she desperately wished that those weren't the last words she said to him.

Happy mother'sday I said as I raised my glass.

To the mother I hope to become someday I murmured before taking a sip.

“Mom, why did you throw away my medicine?!”

“You know you’re faking those disorders for attention, you’re way too young to be taking this much medicine.”

“Mom, why don’t you believe me?!”

“Your father would never sexually assault you, so quit lying; it was an accident.”

I want to feel your heat, your breath, your body, and all of your love.

Why does this stupid screen have to part us?

The tired exotic veterinarian sighed as she confirmed the a lack of heart beat on the 4th animal she had to euthanize that day.

After all, why would she expect anyone to pay to fix a small animal when they could just buy a new one for less?

“Wrong number,”

says the familiar voice, as I painfully change “is” to “was” in my journal.

I call you every word in the book.

But I know life was too much for you to stay alive just for me.

After tearing up every picture of you and flushing them away,

I realised this is an unhealthy way to cope and now I lost my last way to see you.

Seeing your birth date getting carved into stone,

I start crying as I know they will end it with 10 may 2024.

As I sit patiently by the door,

I slowly start to remember you won't go through it ever again.

I never realised how badly I treated you.

I wish I could have properly said goodbye instead of being angry as you left.

I just miss the way you used to love me.

I’ll just keep trying to see if that you will come back someday.

They stared at my bump in confusion as I walked out from behind the counter.

"I wasn't always called Randy," I whispered.

As a ghost, I watched as people said horrible things about me, saying that I was disgusting and evil.

But how did I know what I did in my lifetime would be seen as unacceptable in 200 years' time?

"Hey, how are you? It's been a while" I message my best friend online.

"Well, i hope you are doing well, wherever you are now" I added while staring at the status that said 'Last online : 4 years ago'

"I wish I hadn't given birth to you, good for nothing child!"

Echoed in my head as I stood under the starless night, holding on to a torn off piece of paper that read, "I'm sorry for being born" as it flapped violently in the wind.

I didn't want to lose another family member, not this soon.

They found my sister's body, states away, and I couldn't help her.

I stood staring at the mess left in the kitchen.

When it occurred to me that the last meal you were preparing would remain uncooked forever, I broke down crying.
