You Promised

I remember all the promises
you said you would come back
yet nine years later here I am
Wondering why you arent here

You promised to protect me
then why did you let your men
beat and rape me
I was just a baby mom

You promised you loved me
yet you were never around
You promised to play with me
instead though I was always
walking in on you and some man
No one knew

You promised to you would
come home...yet I was home
alone till one in the morning
some nights

You promised you wouldnt
let them take me away
then you turned around and
told them you didnt want me

Did I ever mean anything to you

old write it sucks but i was venting

    This fills my heart with sadness and then also RAGE!!!! How can one be a parent and let these things happen! How can one say I will watch over you and then feed you to the wolves!!!!!!!

    I am sorry for I too am venting but I guess so were you, so it is partially ok.

    I don't think it sucks your writing. I thought it was wonderful. I can relate to it though except with my biological dad instead. But I've asked my biological dad the same thing: "Did I ever mean anything to you". I always think of that when he reappears out of nowhere but he never answers. I love your poem though.
