The smell of lavender (a poem)


The smell of lavender

Sweet, bitter yet so strong,
The smell that reminds me of you.
In the kitchen you'd sing your song,
The silence still feels new.

I know its been about five years,
but my grief hasn't started to fade.
I learnt to hide the agony and tears,
letting the pain evade.

A part of me is still in denial.
Looking for your face in a crowd.
Sometimes I await your arrival
I want to ask if you're proud.

The smell of lavender makes me cry.
Why did my mother have to die?
