 | We shouted and screamed,
Both so angry it seemed,
Until I realised what this really did mean,
I never expected you to say what you said,
But what else would wake me from just seeing red,
In a fit of tears the words spilt from your lips,
You told me you you didn't have long to live,
a silence falls on the room and my head,
repeating the words that you have just said,
Denial kicks in and I tell myself no,
You can and will not, you never can go,
My mother you've been there from day one,
Through the thick and the thin, grey skies or sun,
And now to find a secret so big has been kept,
It's something I find hard to accept,
You ask me to carry on and keep this from my brother,
Watch him live his life and then one day become his mother,
Since you have told me this I haven't cried a tear,
It's like I feel that I can not show my fear,
Don't see it as I never really cared,
inside I feel confused, angry and scared,
Maybe my tears will pour for you to see,
when you will soon be looking down on me.
