[bodytext] => I sit looking in my glass this crystal stem holding a reflection pond of past memories Seeing times of loneliness as concrete and strangers the only thing called family Sitting in empty doorways a small child scared waiting in the rain People walking by there faces can not hide the shame or anger Am I really that bad do I not get a chance like your own children? Some of us in life are born with trouble not asked for Mothers and fathers who do not care if death came from a phone call Wallowing in anger hands smashed tears falling as they are now Waiting for love from anyone hoping there is more then this No teddy to cuddle just a rock as my bed a rag as my clothe I walked for years with empty eyes down never able to look at a face Is that child gone or is the pain just a swallow of this wine I can taste? Mother did you think of me in nights of snow and wind Father were your hands missing someone to beat around Did you even blink when they called to tell you that they found your son In some empty alley beaten and raped by the city night Did you cry? Those days are old but the pain still lingers like the moon tonight Full and abusive to the stars blinding in the dark That child still breathes within me but the man now stands With a broken heart and a family of my own Not able to have a child the recollection would be to much a strain Did you even smile when I told you I was married your card did not mean much to me Just words with out hugs just lies with out weakness or fault The family has split they blame each other for the loss of togetherness They still cry in the night wondering if you even loved yourself It’s so easy to walk away from something you create even if was in the name of love Even if I had no love? Now that I have someone to hold I feel stronger inside But I was alone for thirty three years did you not even care A phone does not hold the weight of the world is it that hard to admit you were wrong? Even as time catches you with grey hair and friends dying around you Those same friends you left me for I will never forget I guess its time to swallow this last reflection I do not need another tonight I will crawl beside the one who loves me and say to you goodnight [comments] => 0 [counter] => 179 [topic] => 48 [informant] => lostrelic [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
