Dearest Ashleigh Marie...
Sweet angel, please listen carefully
You may be only seven years
And upset that your loved one has left
Please don't cry, dry up those tears.
She didn't leave because of you
She didn't leave because you were bad
She left because of Daddy
She fought with him and left her house sad.
I must tell you this now
So it will not come as big a shock as it once did
She is going to fall ill and pass on to Heaven
Please sit quiet little one, for if I don't tell you, this will just be hid.
Ask Daddy all you want to tell you
But he will hold on strong
He'll say he's protecting you
But you will know the truth before long.
Now sweetheart, this is a few years ahead of your time
But you must know this for later on in life
You will turn eleven and still be upset about your loss
Please, oh please sweetheart, never pick up that knife.
It was the biggest mistake I hath made
And I don't need you making the same
It still haunts me into my eighteenth year
Can you see what I became?
Young angel, you must listen to my words
Cutting is not the answer nor the question
Please take these words to heart
It is not just a suggestion.
Sleep tight young one, for you are dearly loved
You will find your one love, even through many, many jerks
But when you find that, you will know instantly
You both will share many quirks and perks.
Sit tight, my love
You will understand when the time comes
You are me and I am you all in the same
And it is I you will soon become.
Author notes
Done for a contest. I'm actually rather proud of it. Now if only I could go back in time and actually say this to me. It would have helped so much. I hope you like it.

Thank you so very, very much for the honorable mention and thank you so much for the comment. Except, it wasn't my mother whom left, it was my sister, but she was definitely like a second mum to me. Thank you again for the comment and HM. It felt nice to get recognized for a poem once more.
