Hi--here's my next Ed poem. I think I got the title of this collection from part of this particular poem. So yeah, hope you enjoy--
Emptiness-Edward's reflection on his mother and what she may think of him now
Oh, Mother…if only you could see me now
I have changed since long ago
My foolish hopes and dreams
Have been replaced with an emptiness that makes me want to scream
Out loud…
I only wish to see your smile and face
But I live with the reality that you're permanently erased
And as I struggle through the worst of storms
I long to be held in your arms and kept warm…
We gave everything to bring you back again
Yet lost more than we could ever imagine
Faced with the most tragic consequence
We knew nothing would ever be as it had once been
And as we've journeyed to become whole again
I've been brought through hell and back again
As my tears fall I know the price I must pay
But I secretly wish you were here to wipe them away
Mother…if you could see me now
I know you wouldn't be proud
I'll trudge on until everything's through
Though guilt will always scar my heart
I'll pursue till the end if only for you…
