on the anniversary of the day you went away poem

I wished so much that you would be there, I'd tried to rebuild your son, shelter him with loving care, he built big walls around himself, and always was running away, my family tried to heal his huts, at night we all would pray, in time he grew more distant, nothing i could say, its like he died when you did and his soul had gone away, i tried so had to get him back, but he was lost inside, he started treating us bad, couldn't see what he was doing, he placed the blame on me, when i could see he needed help, your son refused to acknowledge his illness, and slowly took me down, piece by piece, upon a breakdown, it was then i gave him one last chance to correct the things hes done, find love within his heart and get help, whilst i looked after everyone, he chose the path of ignorance, unfortunately his heart was gone, i think back to the beginning I know now what went wrong, you told your son to love me, and pregnant baring i was, you told him to do the right thing, you invited me to stay, but he didn't have to love me from the day you went away. I pick up the phone one day forgetting you were gone, Your memories weren't to be disgust, or he would get so angry, Our friendship as mother and daughter in law, had nothing ever to prove,

My heart in pieces across your bedroom floor, You built the walls around me, excepted me into your family, I had no idea you loved me so much that you created my space,

I sat their i silence not knowing my very place, In those frozen moments my very soul felt rejected,ĭown stairs familiar voices in discussion, I was there for a reason, upon request, to sit and make sure your items were in trusting hands, There is nothing this mother wouldn't do within love,

Where days before you spoke your last words,Īnd promised you my love would protect your grandchildren, As i sat on couch in the corner of your room,
