Crumble, by mere touch

Left to crumble by the touch of breeze, a scent so brittle that its movement creeks

Even when her thin hand

fitted into mine

I felt crumbled

Hunching next to her

Her skin wrinkled more

With every passing second

Her tired little smile

Still reached her eyes

The love she shed

Submerged me in ashes

Like warmth she felt

Even as she neared close to her end

I did justice even if my love

Measured to half of hers

As she loosened her fingers from mine

I felt her slip away from me

Even when life left her

The traces of her smile was left on her face

Even when was gone from this world

I felt the love remain in the greys of her eyes

She was my first love

And she will remain the best.

Love is beautiful but a mother’s heart is epic.
