Stay by My Side

A stately coffin burns to ash
Well meaning sympathies begin to lash
The sky darkens, the lights go out
My North star I am without
Why must I suffer, why must I weep
While others mothers they can keep?
Call my Lucifer, I have fallen from grace
Now denied feeling your embrace
Please help me mother find my way
From grief's trenches to blooming May
Walk beside me, watch me sleep
Whisper encouragements, console me
Don't leave me now, stay by my side
Return your North Star to my sky
What dastardly sins must have I committed
For your memories to be omitted
Though you died peacefully in bed
The long goodbye remains unsaid
Am I predestined to follow your stead?
Discover my own illness I've yet to wed?
My betrothed vows to infect and linger
Memories smelt to unidentifiable anger
Following cursed Oedipus, I'll stumble and crawl
Bound to my familial inheritance, will it smite us all?
Please help me mother find my way
From grief's trenches to blooming May
Walk beside me, watch me sleep
Whisper encouragements, console me
Don't leave me now, stay by my side
Return your North Star to my sky
