Abruptly Torn

by Vanessa   Mar 11, 2008


My reflection ripples in the blue waters.
That barely kiss the sandy shore,
where i sit and think about my daughters,
and how my life could have meant more.
Underneath the midnight sky laced with stars,
the crisp air eases tormented spirits of the past.
I let the soft moonlight bath my scars,
as I forget the voices and images that never last.
I see my girls laughing and playing in my mind,
I'm unable to help, but breakdown and cry,
searching for the peace I need and can't find,
scarlet tears drip from sad, dark eyes.

My father stands in the mist, head slightly bowed.
His warm welcoming arms stretched wide,
He loves me, but I know that he is not proud,
of all the pain that I am harboring inside.
For a shinning moment he held me tight,
I took in the woody scent of his cologne,
he then, just soft of faded off into the night,
leaving me sitting in the shadows all alone.
Again i thought I felt a loss, I could not bare.
A burden weighing heavy on my heart.
I was so deep in desolate. dark despair,
that I let it, abruptly tear my world apart.

    If you don't remember me, just let me remind you that I'm honest and a lot harsher than most on here.

    The words, the lines, the rhymes were good, as was the story, but something about it held it back, or wasn't there. Maybe it could've flowed a little more, but I'm not sure. I wish I could be clearer, but I can't. Sorry.
