My Dying Mom

Her daughter watches as she lays there in the hospital bed. She doesnt know how much longer she has... Life seems to be at its worse. She is losing everything she has...

I sit there watching her sleep
My mom laid in the hospital bed
Her skin was ghostly white
And there were all these wires going up and down her body
Nurses and Doctors would walk in and out of the room every five minutes
I never saw my mom so sick before
I began to cry
I couldn't take this pain
I couldn't stand watching her body slowly die away
For the last 8 months
I had stood by my mom's side
My mom has been in and out of the hospital so many times
We have been in the hospital so much
All the doctors and nurses know who we are now
Each time we visit they give my mom more medication
My mom is always so lifeless
Her body is so weak
She cant clean, work, or go shopping
I am only just 16
And I am losing my mom
I love my mom
And I try to help her as much as I can
Everyday I watch my mom struggle
My mom is a very strong women
But sometimes she cant take it
She simply gives up
She does all she can to keep on living
But nothing seems to help
Not even medication and surgery can fix this heart problem
My mom is dying
I don't know much longer I have left with her
I pray every night
And I ask God to keep her here just a little bit longer
I don't know how much more God can do
I sit here watching my mom as she lays in her hospital bed
The tears still falling...
And my mom still dying...
I am scared and alone
I am only just 16
Losing all hope
And my very best friend

I dont care about my spelling...I really dont care. My mom is dying each and everyday... I am scared and worried... I dont care if there is no flow. I just needed to get this out. I needed to vent and this was the only thing that seemed to maybe help me...

I'm very sorry to hear this :(
I don't know whats its like to lose a parent, though my Dad isn't in great health, but he's okay.
I can't even imagine what its like to deal with something like this.... She will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry!!! I know you are going, and probably already are, hearing people say that a lot, but I mean it. My best friend just lost her dad to pancreatic cancer... I can't even comprehend what you must be going through and i'm not going to pretend to. Aside from that, your poem was great. You guys are in my thoughts and prayers

Wow, I'm so sorry about your mom. This is so sad. I know what it's like, I watched my dad die. It's terrible. You're both definitely in my prayers.

This is so sad...if you want to talk about it, I watched my grandmother and great-grandfather die, so if you need anything, let me know. Stay strong.
