Mother’s Day

Alone
on the subway
Sunday morning
Mother’s day
without you Mom
you are gone but
I am still here
missing you today as
I close my eyes
and see your face
If you can hear me
just wanted to say
I’m sorry Mom
I tried many times
to find my way
I forgot all your
warnings
about pitfalls
and danger
and alcohol
and all, but here
I am today
I can’t let go
Of the bottle
It’s where I
find the courage
to keep riding
to keep moving
to keep running away
from myself
and my life.
