more of my poems


The Memories are Fading Away


You held me in your arms when I was first born,


you snuggled me tight so I would be warm’


You told me you loved me and would never leave my side


I should have known you lied


Now I am sitting here thinking of why I believed all those things


 When they weren’t even true


Maybe it was because I actually did not know you


You didn’t have to lie to me, you could have told me you didn’t want to stay


I would have easily said okay


I still remember the night you left me


You told me you loved me, and that you would be back


I stopped waiting and got on with my life so how’s that?


I can barely remember you; my mind suddenly starts to drift away


I can’t even remember one word you used to say,


My heart won’t let me it says no, no way


How could you hurt me like you did?


I thought I was your little kid


Knowing you were gone was the hardest for me


I was soo blind that I could not see


I think to myself that I have a good life and I survived the worst


Anything now that I overcome I’ll remember the first

Dearest Brother


 


Dearest Matthew I love you with all of my heart


I am sorry we are drifting further and further apart


 


Don’t ever forget that I love you so very much


You are always on my mind during the day


I just care for you is all I can say


 


I am sorry I left you like I did


You know too that I am just a kid


I know I made the biggest mistake, but what else could I do?


My life was at stake

Yes, Lauren, yes...it's happening in your writing...one day at a time friend, one day at a time....remember to let your soul soak in the warmth of the sun, the breeze on your cheeks, and the sound of a singing bird as each new day comes too. 


Your fellow poet...


Satori :)

Thank you for posting about being abandoned by a parent.

I too was abandoned, and I hold so much resentment and anger towards her, even now, 28 years later.

I love that you work your program through your poetry... i am interested to see what you come up with once you start creating ones with program undertones.

take care,

aron
