Life without you

LIFE WITHOUT YOU

You were gone leaving my heart wrenched,

My childhood with you I could not sketch.

My little hands couldn't stop you from leaving,

You are gone mother, still I feel I am dreaming,

My innocent face you ignored and went away,

Why did you leave me?

I know you wanted to stay.

My tears were easily ignored by you,

You don't know how I am living without you,

I wish I had a perfect childhood,

But my life was filled with tragedies,

I want to bring you back,

But I cannot,

You wanted me,

Don't tell me you did not.

Was there any sign of sadness when you left,

Or were you happy?

I am so restless to see you mother,

Feels like being your daughter is a tragedy. 

What was my fault for which I lost you?

Couldn't this life be renewed?

You gave me this life mother,

But without you in this pain I wither.

Everytime when I look in the mirror,

My reflection looks like it's you,

And when my hand reaches to touch,

I realise you are not here,

Happiness for everyone you are,

But you are my tear,

Everyone is so close to their mothers,

But you are not here.

This brought tears in my eyes, I can imagine a life without mother and that eager to renew the life, most of us don't look after our parents sometimes I deny them too, but the lesson this poem taught me I will never forgive, poem taught me which no one did in all these years. I feel sorry for those who don't have mother

I am glad I was able to do so. Thank you so much. I feel truly happy to know that you can understand and feel the pain. Thank you.......

[Najam Us Saher]

One more thing....you are truly lucky. Don't ever get upset on her.

[Farhan Shaikh]

That's promise

My mother dies when I was 2 years old and I do not know the feeling of this. It is so buried down under my unconscious thought bringing forth the memories of childhood I cannot reach. I believe this is an emotional poem as it touches readers hearts with no needs of actual experience but a poet's soul. Thank you for sharing.

[Najam Us Saher]

I am moved to hear about your loss. I thank you so much for reading.

This poem is so deep and sad, but on the other hand, it is so beautiful. Don't worry, everything happens for a reason . Because of the tragedy that happened to you, you have written this amazing poem and this is getting so much reviews. So don't be sad anymore, you're an amazing writer.😀

[Najam Us Saher]

Thank you so much. I don't write to get reviews dear. I write to make myself feel better and share with everyone so the people who suffer can feel that they are not the only one and the one who don't should be happy in their lives. ☺

[Anjali]

I mean that people are loving your poems so much by reviewing them , so, in a way, you have achieved your goal to share it with everyone who feels the way you feel. Good luck!😊

[Najam Us Saher]

My sister adopted a child from South Korea years ago.
He had been abused, had cigarette burns etc. on his body. He asks these same questions all of these years later. We cannot go backward we must go forward. Valentine

[Najam Us Saher]

That's so sad to hear. I agree with you. Thank you.

[wordman]

such a sad tale of a well known story,you always wonder why

[Najam Us Saher]

Yes...Thank you so much sir.

[NightMoves]

Wow, I can feel the pain almost first hand in this poem. Full of deep meaning and paints a picture easily understood. Whether this is personal or not, just remember to not let other's past define who you are no matter the pain or hurt you feel. You are an individual.

[Najam Us Saher]

Yes I agree with you.....Thank you so much. :)

[heartspeaks]

This almost got tears to my eyes... I don't think so i am such a pro to judge on writing basis , which i found fabulous anyway. I can simply say it's beautiful and priceless. I swear its not a false praise. Great work. Missing my mom right now. :D sweet read, emotional read...

[Najam Us Saher]

I am happy to know that I wrote something that was relatable to you. Thank you so much. It truly means a lot.... ☺

[heartspeaks]

It is more than relatable. Pleasure reading

[Najam Us Saher]

You made me happy by telling that. Thank you.
