It has been one month since Austin passed away. I wrote this for his Mom.
So many things she longs for
the sound of his voice
the stomp of his feet
running down the hall
his giggle
his cry
the back and forth of bedtime
the smell of his morning yawn
him waking her each day
she waits for him
maybe he will come
maybe if she checks his room
just one more time
he will be there
this time
playing with his toys
laying with his doopy
watching his movies
so quietly that she just had to make sure
he was still there
no matter how many times
she checks his room
looks out the window
when a car door shuts
he still isn't there
it has been 1 month today
the longest month of this woman's life
she has made it here
without him
she sits and wonders
where this time went
how each hour has melted
into one big nightmare
waiting to wake up
praying this time
he will be there
while knowing in her heart
that he is gone
