A Poem For Oliver
I cannot rest,
you see
For such turmoil
Affects me
Such bitter fighting
Hurt me
I was not part of your war
You, let it be
I suffer now
So needlessly
For, you took your pain
and your anger
Again and again
On me...
I cannot make peace with you
For, your wounding words
Cut me through
Things can never go back
To way they have been
Let us build on new things
For, some actions
Are better left unseen
I wish you had not said
All those hurtful things
I acknowledge your pain
For those words...
Inwards, I bled
It can never be the same
For amongst so much
Anger and pain
I want a mothers' love again
Can we not start
Sometime soon?
Forget the hurtful words
That paralyse the heart
Love can never die
It always remains
In the hearts of you and I
