Moms Over Everything

I must check my phone,

I heard it's gentle vibration,

Nothing there I'm still all alone,

I guess it was a wishful sensation.

Maybe she's asleep,

Yes, I bet that's what it is,

So I'll just place it out of reach,

And try to rest my head.

Money food family wait,

I think I heard it again,

I'll get up and check, it is fate,

Surely she replied and hit send.

Nope, nothing, it is just in my head,

This time I power it down,

As I lay like a leaf in my bed,

In an infinite room of no sound.

Death now consumes my mind,

Those thoughts that are seldom shared,

I wonder if at the end of my time,

I'll still feel this alone and scared.

My mother is getting older,

This scares me even more,

I forget the last time I told her,

Of my love for her and adore.

I now discover my biggest fears,

And forget the petty worries,

Time with loved ones is dear,

And crushes are lived so shortly.
