Come Back To Us

Your heart has become so dark No truths are spoken from your lips You are only about yourself anymore We wonder where has the real you gone What happened to turn you so cruel Asking to be forgiven again and again Will you ever turn your life back around Cling to the love that is given to you Hold eye contact to your family lifeline Know that we are here for you evermore When we see you hurt we hurt even more We love you more then you will ever know You are hurting more then just yourself Take a good look into your mirror dear Ask yourself where the gentle you has gone We pray you find her and her gentle heart And when you find her once more We pray you will come back to us Our love for you continues to grow This you should always remember Entry for P.D.'s Free Verse Contest written by: Carol Brown 10th Place Winner

carol I seem to remember this one. Just read your comment on the blog about deleting poems and I really agree with you. It could not be good to delete the poems and then feel so sad about it. I sure hope you saved all your marvelous poetry to slowly add back up on here, dear!

This poem relates to someone I know. It is just a waiting game. Hope things improve for you soon. My person in question has a lot of baggage. I just pray and wait for talking is out of the question. Enough said here. May you soon find peace, XOXO Jancarl
