I Never Rest

In dreams, my son appears to me

His absence weighs, a heavy decree

In waking hours, he lingers near

The hate he harbors, painfully clear


His eyes reflect a hurt so deep

His silence cuts, it makes me weep

The mistakes I made, they haunt my soul

A heavy burden, beyond my control


How can I find a moment’s peace

When sorrow’s grip will never release?

I long to rest, to ease this ache

To mend the wounds, my heart to make


But in the night, his presence looms

A ghostly figure, in darkened rooms

I pray for solace, for dreams less steep

To find a way for my soul to keep


May time bring healing, and peace at last

To mend the bonds of our shattered past

May dreams be kinder, and light the way

To find forgiveness, and hope’s bright ray


I've made so many mistakes with my son. It's hard to forgive myself, even with what I know about my mother and family. It's our job as parents to protect our children mentally and physically. I just miss him so much. I'll never be able to explain what's happened, and it's likely at this point, that he will never speak to me again. I know what it's like to be in his position. All I can do is continue what I'm doing. Making a difference and saving other families from going through this same turmoil.
