Came and went
as you pleased.
Never for too long
always a quick 'hello,'
but never a good-bye.
Didn't understand your reasons,
so I blocked you out for protection
seeing as the family didn't like you to begin with.
Only bad memories of whats left
not a single good one did you give
and yet you expect me to say 'I love you?!'
No, not in your life time, stranger.
I'll talk to you like any other,
but I promise you this,
you'll never matter-
because as your daughter,
I seemed insignificant to you as well.
Author notes
And once again it has been proven that she doesn't deserve to find a home. Once again, she realizes that everyone will leave her alone.
It's just another part of history repeating itself, laying her heart bare against cold stone. It's just another punishment earned for misdeeds she needs to atone.
And while her soul is ruptured and left bleeding out into the snow, she once again realizes that her heart is just another worthless piece of fake gold.
How could anyone so rotten deserve a loving home?
Everybody leaves.
~Rose Dark Thorn
It is not about orphans, or anyone who does not have had warm place to sleep. It is about abandonment.
Nothing over 20 lines.
About my mother Gina Eng who abandoned me and my sister. I still talk to her on the cell, but as I would with a strange; no emotions passed through.

I understand where you are coming from. I myself do not have much of a relationship with my own mother, even though I lived with her my whole life, even after my parents divorced. We never got along, and she was very controlling. After I moved out, I went on with life. I never call her unless I have a reason to, and I don't usually visit unless I have a reason to. I have no interest in the idle conversation she tries to have with me on the phone...and sometimes, I can't even be bothered to answer her calls.
But anyway, I do understand how you feel...seeing as I myself cannot find any emotion when it comes to my on mother.
Thank you for entering.
