I'm Sorry

by Nearly but not quite   Jan 15, 2006


I'm sorry Mummy,
If I hurt you,
I never meant to keep things back,
I never meant to keep you out,
It just happened.

I didn't want to tell you
Every little secret of mine,
When you asked,
I just avoided your questions.
Because you didn't need to know.

Why weren't you like Daddy?
He kept his lips closed.
Provided hugs and cash cards.
Sometimes even a rose.

But you were always asking questions.
You didn't understand
I didn't want to tell you
It's not hard to realise.

So I'm sorry I can't communicate,
With any living soul
I'm sorry I can't get the words out of my head and through my lips.
It's not my fault
It's not yours either
I just don't speak to people!

So please try and understand
But if you can't don't ask me
"Why?"
Because I can't tell you.

Please comment, I appreciate constructive criticism as well as praise.

    I really like this poem...it seems like it was really thought out...and good use of constructing your thoughts, most people have so many things going on in their head that it doesn't come out quite right. Ex: me.
    Anyways good job!! :)

    Really?! Thanks! It really annoys me that my Mother constantly expects me to confide in her but I really don't feel inclined to, I don't know why... But thank you sooooo much!! :-)
