Blood ties

Family...
Your mine.
I'm yours.
So it shall always be,
Even when you betray me.
I need you sometimes,
To help me through,
To be the child,
Who once loved you.

To live in sweet denial,

That you care about me still.

 

But you gave up long ago,

And left us here to rot,

Your life was ruined,

The regret you feel, that peicing shrill

Cuts through us in the night.

 

Family...

Your mine.

I'm yours.

Blood holds us now,

But souls fly free,

And this my family,

Lies stinking in the ground.

I needed you,

But not any more,

My life has changed as knowledge gained,

Realisation hits,

And I'm equipped to grow, and grow and grow.

 

And you wonder, there what could this be,

This knowledge that has set her free.

And I tell you,

With great last words:

 

Blood ties dissolve eventually.

    I am sorry about your family and about your pain. Hopefully you and your family can talk and work it out. I am sure they must love you, just sometimes things get difficult. I wish you well.

    i love how you rhymed in this first section. I can truly feel the hurt and pain you feel, very good on a emotional level. I used to think i more liked story poems, but poems like this with such raw emotion i really enjoy!!!
