Dear Anyone That Will Listen

Dear anyone that will listen
let me get this off my chest
I've been waiting all these years
speaking now is for the best.
Luis, don't think I'm not grateful
you put up with all my crap.
Both of us are doomed for life
locked in our marriage trap.

Lindsey son, you had no chance
from the time that you were two.
There is no excuse I know
for his abuse of you.
Somehow I should have stopped it
even if it took my life
I think I should have fled with you
and ended all the strife.

I'm glad you've turned the corner
and thanks for calling me.
Maybe things are looking up
your heart will soon be free.
I'm sorry for all the damage
that was dealt along the way.
I'm still holding lots of cards
but not one ace to play.

I know that I can skip you Rae
it does no good to talk ...
you're hardened for good reason
and you won't let him walk.
Give him life without parole
or fuck that just give him death.
He hurt and abandoned you
let's take away his breath.

I want us to all make peace
no matter what the cost
to be a family once again
but all that hope is lost.
I want us to acknowledge sin
admit the things we've done.
It's the way God dealt with us
He gave his only son.

Alyssa you have your faults
just like the rest of us.
sweet as an angel smiling
then how that mouth can cuss.
You take your dad for what he is
and I know that you still care.
Somehow you laugh at his mistakes
you're loving and your fair.

As for me I'm feeling stuck ...
because he is my only son.
I love him with all my might
but not the things he's done.
i wish there was a band-aid

to patch up all the strife...

I want to feel peace of mind

on this road that is my life.

 

I need to hear some laughter

ringing out from all of you

a chorus of your voices

MY God what must I do?

I hear echos of spewing hate

can not one of you see ...

how all the turmoil

eats away at me?

    My favorite lines, I might add.

    But my, how amazing, how heart wrenching, that you feel all of this pain. It hard to imagine you going through this, I wish there were a way for you to ease the sorrow in your own heart. Beautiful piece of poetry. You are a very strong person for holding all of this in. I hope things turn around for you one day soon.

    Heart felt.I send to you much love and happiness, for you so deserve it.I wish I could take away your pain.You were very brave to write about your feelings,So much hurt and regrets are felt within your words.I am also on the merry go round of turmoil with my hubbies family, such grudge holders and unforgiving people.I hope that at least one of your family members gets to read your write, and I pray that all will be forgiven with one another, and that all wounds will heal in time.Stay strong dear friend.
    Blessings to you.

    Wow. You laid it all out there. Great poem, kudos for your bravery. I'm glad your son contacted you. I hope your family's gaping wounds can close enough to be a family again.

    Oh, this is truly heavy, weighed with years of endurance.
    Our lives are such complexities. There are no easy answers and this is what I take away from this poem. Great writing.
