My mind unjustly murdered you for being who you are
instead of finding some way to assist
I left the scene without a clue then searched both near and far
for sanctuary rumored to exist
beyond the sunless shore entombed in mist.
I've felt a presence chasing me, determined to convict
the criminal it clamored to indict
I never knew the damage prosecution could inflict
or just how quickly it could end ones flight
insisting on the right to extradite.

A touch of survivor's guilt? I know that is something that no mother would ever impose on her child. A mother's love is truly unconditional...Remember the good times! ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is very sad. But very beautiful. Its one of those poems that make your heart ache.

Thanks, this is about my inability to handle her drinking when I should have kept trying to help her stop. I know it's a bit sad but I promise by the end of this week it will get better.
ReplyDeleteI thought I heard a mouse in the house :-P
This is very good, but also sad :( Sometimes you can't fully help someone, especially if they don't want to help themselves.
