Slipped away in increments
No mindful goodbye
No dignity
Reduced to shadow
A cuckoo in your stead
Sorry that you lost your proudness
Your wonder and dignity
And yet those silver rings
Still cling to your ghost
Mother your mind is lost to us
Your soul has been bled dry
by meddling sprites that taunt us
I miss your sharpness
Your comfort
I miss your safety
You loved me so
