VOID

By Dream

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I awoke to cries this morning Cries that can only be from a troubled child And I remember those same howls The sounds of my youth being defiled I don't know what could be worse Than being left outside that door And not being able to understand Mother doesn't want me anymore That memory runs rampant in my mind Adding salt to my unhealing wounds That part of me forever unresolved But I've got to find closure soon Mother left me incomplete A void no other soul was ever meant to fill And though the pain runs thick Unconditional love I have for her still This time though she may never come back Just one more hug could keep her close to me Maybe If I'd been a stronger daughter She would have then wanted me I still will never know why Why she chose this destiny But one thing I can change Is that part of her in me Now the tears they come without warning Washing away the years of pain Cries that still echo through my soul Will I ever hug my mother again....... The Lonely PoetYou know this one was one of the hardest for me....just wrote it today. It almost feels like it was waiting forever to come out. And somehow I found the words to express it to you.~dream:):( Written August 24th, 2001 © on Aug 24 2001 02:42 AM PST   0 • 1
