~she Died Right There Before Me~ Poem by Mary Nagy
~she Died Right There Before Me~
To me, she could've said anything
I wanted so badly to hear her say,
''I love you and I'm gonna try.''
But all she said is ''I just can't stay.''
She looked away, I stared her down.
I needed to see her eyes.
She looked at me and that's when I knew...
THIS IS THE DAY MY MOTHER DIES.
She died right there before me.
I watched her fade away.
Her eyes were glossing over
as I begged her ''PLEASE, JUST STAY! ''
She said goodbye and drove away.
I've learned to deal with loss.
But, now she says ''I'm coming back! ''
She doesn't know the cost.
To me she's dead, she can't come back.
She'll have to remember the day
that she died right there before me
when she said she couldn't stay.
That was a nasty twist for me towards the end there when you said 'she drove away...' WOW... this one really got to me... you are awesome! ~Lee

I feel for you Mary, but you will face her with the strength that her lousy upbringing gave you. Think about it. Tai
