It Will Happen

Tears

streak

drip from eyes

fall to chin

hollow pain

erupting

bringing me to my knees

gasping

head forward

drool

as I sob

nothing has hurt more

than this

feeling discarded

unwanted

even though

I know

deep within

this is not the truth

pain roils

never ending.

Tears continue to seep

stand beneath the shower

sobbing

how could this happen

when I had given so much

bringing forth life…..

I knew this day would come

when I was no longer number one

independence gained

mom’s loss

tender pain

does it ever end?

Or will I cry these tears forever?

A river.

An ocean.

It hurts.
