Gap Poem by Shelvakumari Thachayil

The day 16th December 2019 a big gaping hole in my life
God decided to call my mother to heaven
Then everyday I wake and cry for your thoughts
All I have are memories which is in a frame
You are never part living in my heart
And know that you are the loved one ever
I amso tired of this empty feeling of being alone
Hiding the hurt hiding the pain and tears
Then it falls like a rain and saying am fine
Days passed with endless struggle and sorrow
Trying for a normal appearance
At the end seems that the struggle always with me
Cluttered mind and thinking hard to keep in touch
What is happening around me and floating away
A lonely place beyond the stars in the sky
I realize you are my life and all that I need
You cannot die and life never ends.
