Last Commented Family Poems (502)

Weeping young lady heard what she never wanted to hear
That dreaded "D" word
.....days passed.....

Then a promise made to her.

Sweetie we really had to divorce
I know it's been a lot of years
It'll be better this way in time
Tear'd eyes both, they sit.....

I'm going to make you a promise .....
I'll never just settle
I'll wait for that right person to come along.

I'm making this promise to you because.

To just settle....
Tears you cried that day
Would have been in vain.


As I hurt your heart for no reason.

The tables set
The Sunday roast is cooked
The veg is on
The gravy made

The cards on the table
It read to you mother dearest
Join us for dinner
Your seat is empty

Where once you sat
We think of you daily
We wonder why you went
God wanted you

You where heaven sent
Its been awhile since you departed
Your card waits for you the flowers we got
Have Sunday dinner with us mother dear
Happy mothers day

A place of fun and peace,
a place to call home.

One Night is all it took to distroy it all..

Now we hide inside with huge locks,
we always walk with someone never alone,
carry a knife, a gun, pepper spray.

One Night of banging down a door to get to us...

Now we don't sleep, and shake at ever sound.

In ONE Night they took it all away.

Hold thumbs and hope this works:)
I loved the sounds of your voices before
And now we have "Brand New " voices sooo why not,
Its fun xx

pity all around.

oh well.

listen now.

betray this later.

when there is few who care.

muster.

I 've flying.,
But ,does'nt have raising..,
I 'm a leaf..,
But i was yellow.

I am reflecting back on my life.
Yet what reflection do i see?
Who is looking back at me?
Child careful not to upset anyone.
Adult who is used to being abused.
Content wife walking God's path.
The widow walking in faith.
I never know which one.
Will make an appearance into the day.
Which one wants an appearance.
Can i just always see the real me
looking back at me.

You never wanted me
form the moment you
knew i was there.
You showed me only
what you wanted me
to see.
You hurt me so deep
the knife could not
go deep enough to
pull out the pain.
Never wanting me.
Only abusing me.
Beating me daily
as if i was the
problem for the
mess up in your
life.
Giving me as a
present to guys
you called boyfriends.
In order to keep
them happy, content.
I was but a child you
robbed that from me.
Yet to this day.
You can not see the
issues you caused.
Putting yourself on
a shelf calling yourself
the greatest mom ever.
Lying to keep out the
dark secrets that
invade my life.
Soothing the darkness
with alcohol for then
you will be great in
your own mind.
Wake up for that is
never to be i am here
telling this.
I am real i exist.
I know the truth
others will know
SOON.

Your words cut me
so DEEP.
Tearing my flesh
from my bones.
Leaving it for the
vultures to devour.
This is how you made
me feel since i can
r. e. m. e. m. b. e. r.
EXPOSED
OPEN
for all the world to
see the torment and
tragedy you caused me.
Trying to pull out of
this with some semblance
of positivity.
Yet there is none for
me to see.
Promising myself never
to be the image of you.
Never to let you change
my life to fit your needs.
Only grow and love like
never before.
Somewhere out there is
happiness for me.
I just need to reach out
for it with both hands
and pull it into me.
I deserve this day of
smiles.
I deserve to be here and
say LORD you have shown
me the way.
I get down on my knees
crying out to HIM our
father saying thank you
for watching out for me.
For without you i could
of never found this
freedom i seek.
This family i ache for.
I could never have turned
into the real me you see
before you now.
Thank you for seeing me
and the person i could be
if i just let her free.
