Family
Mother,
your boy is crying
alone in the darkness,
his tears run fast and hard.
How sad his expression,
emptied,
isolated,
powerless.
Father,
your son falters
from shame,
the game you both played
had no winners.
Rules were unfair,
short on sympathy
and high with anger.
Sister,
your brother regrets
the guilt of fights,
no light in our relationship,
no one talks,
only mocks.
We live light years apart.
your boy is crying
alone in the darkness,
his tears run fast and hard.
How sad his expression,
emptied,
isolated,
powerless.
Father,
your son falters
from shame,
the game you both played
had no winners.
Rules were unfair,
short on sympathy
and high with anger.
Sister,
your brother regrets
the guilt of fights,
no light in our relationship,
no one talks,
only mocks.
We live light years apart.

About this poem:
My broken family from many years ago right up to the present. It still affects me very much. We are all so far apart. It hurts greatly.Poems entered on these pages are copyrighted by the authors who entered them. They cannot be reproduced without the author's written consent. © Copyright 2001-2024.

I can feel your pain so intense and deeply. I truly honestly understand, as my family have never been involved in my life no matter how hard I try.
You have to see, please no matter the pain, IT IS ABOUT THEM, NOT EVER YOU! Once you accept this the pain will cease. I honestly feel for you and I will keep you in my prayers. Take good care and do something very special just for you! Bless U! Hugz, Pink.
There is so much loss, over many years, conveyed in your verses, ending with We live light years apart. Unfortunately, for some families, it is the only safe distance. The pain of separation is well-conveyed in this poignant write. Thanks for sharing.
