Letters to mom (part 1,2, and3)

Letters to mom (pt.1)

Sometimes I forget,
Why it is I'm so alone,
Then I hear your voice,
On the telephone.

You left me here,
To rot in pieces,
Looking at old pictures,
Full of rips and creases.

I remember those days,
As if they were new,
When I hear you talk to me,
I know you remember too.

Why did you leave me,
To wonder if I'll be alright,
Wondering if I can ask you to come home,
Without you putting up a fight.

I miss you a lot, dear  mother of mine,
Is that too hard to see?
Or are you just ignoring it,
Because you don't miss me?

Despite how much you lied to me,
And everyone else you held dear,
I'm still waiting patiently,
for you to reappear.

I know you'll never come for me,
but I still had hoped,
That your at least happy with the man,
to whom you have eloped.

Do you ever think of me,
When you're all alone,
But I guess that's why you call,
And talk to me on the phone.

But you're just bored, and need a person,
To tell all your happy tales,
Of how your such a perfect wife, Well guess what?
As a parent you have failed.




Letters to Mom (Pt.2)

Do you realize,
how much you hurt me?
Do you realize,
I no longer know how to trust?
Because you tore me to pieces,
and threw my heart in the dust.

I no longer sit up,
and wait for you,
To come walking through the door.
I know you are never coming back,
I won't see you anymore.

I can't believe you left me too,
It's bad enough dad did long ago.
Was is something I did or said?
Do you think of me at all,
Or do you wish I was dead?

Did you forget the one,
Whom you conceived 16 years ago?
Or do you just not want to remember me?
I'll always miss you no matter what,
Or is that something you can't see?

I try to hate you,
For what you did,
But I just can't do it.
I can't ever hate you,
Even when you make me feel like shit.

This is the last time,
I'll tell you how I feel,
If you don't acknowledge my plea,
Then I'll do my best to forget you to,
Just as you forgot me.



letters to mom (pt. 3)

Why won't you come back to me,
And be a real parent,

I know you see it hurting me,
I know I'm that transparent.

Yet you still tell me that I'll be fine,
I know you know that's not true.

I told you once that I'd be fine,
I never meant to misconstrue.

Can you really be happy with him,
Knowing how much I time I assert,

Pretending to be okay with this,
Pretending I don't hurt?

How can you leave your children here,
And start a brand new life,

With a brand new family,
Trying to be the perfect wife.

You try to tell me you love me,
But how can I believe it's true,

When I know it was your choice to leave,
And you didn't take me too.

I remember the day you departed,
You said it was for the best,

I don't really think so,
Because now I have no parents left!

I think you hurt like I do,
At least that's what I hope,

Did you think of the consequences,
Before you went to elope?

When I saw you over the summer,
Did you care I was around?

Or were you counting the days till I left,
So you could get back to the life you've found?

I begin to wonder,
"Did you even want me,

Or was I just a bad mistake,
That you didn't for see?"

I know your not coming back,
And you'll never return,

I know that I'll keep hoping,
For your motherly embrace I yearn.

    This reminds me so much of people that I know and letters that could be written. So much pain in these words and anger too. Thanks for entering and sharing with us. Not easy to do, I know ...

    Perception of a situation through the eyes of a child can be quite different than what the situation was/is... ~ Slowly I'm understanding what that means ~ after growing up ~ i've gone to the my parents and asked them ~ why? did the stories I heard true? ~ So many questions ~ so little answers.

    Your write shows the thought and the passion placed ~ It moves with a smooth read ~ Strong ~ I hope you find the answers you so seek~ but, remember ~ if your mother chooses not to tell you ~ try to let go of those feelings of abandonment ~ by doing better with your own family. ~ Well, that seem to work with me ~ I made promises ~ not to do what was done to me ~ with my daughter ~ I hope that in some twisted way ~ it makes me a better Mom ~

    I truly wish you the best of luck ~ I really appreciate you sharing your work with me ~ thanks for entering the "Set the Bar" contest ~
