Alice Vedral Rivera - REQUIEM

Circumstances
Inconvenient
As always

I wasn't there
As you buried
Your mother

Desperately
Wanting to be
By your side

During this most
Difficult time
In your life

Cold and rainy
Gray and gloomy
Saturday

Did you hide your
Tears and cry on
The inside

Or did you let
Them slip down and
Wet your cheeks

Hoping they'd be
Camouflaged by
Drops of rain

Having made all
Arrangements as
Required

Responsible
You - the strong one
To the end
