I stand alone at the Tapulinik runway’s end,
A piercing silence, my only friend.
The clouds above in cold defiance loom,
As I remember you, lost in the gloom.
I see your face, hear the words you said,
But your warm embrace is gone from my head.
I am so sorry for the moments we missed,
In life’s final scene, a bittersweet twist.
While I chased shadows, a life I didn’t see,
I was there in body, but not truly with thee.
I should have sung, and laughed, and held you so tight,
Instead, my empty hands can’t reach you in the night.
The regret I feel is a useless pain,
A life without you is nothing but rain.
No more your wisdom, no more your soft smile,
Just an empty space that lasts for a while.
My fragile spirit is ready to break,
For your hand to hold, what wouldn’t I take?
But I’m left with a dream, an endless void,
Losing you is a wound I can’t avoid.
I’m aching to go home, though it’s now a tomb,
To stand by your grave and escape this room.
To pray for your peace and say my goodbyes,
Reflecting your love in my tear-filled eyes.
But I am stuck here, Mom, in this desolate place,
The plane never came, a haunting disgrace.
Only the sound of gunshots, a repeated loud song,
My wish to go home has been delayed so long.
I’m so sorry, Mom, my apology rings,
Just another regret this Mother’s Day brings.
