Sense Sonnet - Acher

Departing

My Mom had not been feeling good.
We only have each other, so
I tried to do all that I could
To make her feel better. I know
I'm just a kid, but Mom needs me.
By now she should be waking up.
I am taking her some tea.
She's still sleeping. I put the cup
On her nightstand and turn, and there
Stands Mom, saying don't be afraid.
But she must go away somewhere.
And then Mom starts to slowly fade.

"I love you," my Mom said,
Then vanished. I knew she was dead.
