Richard Kimble Poet I do not know?

Just Left Behind

Not asking to be born
Decisions from choices you made
Ready or not these dues must be paid
Played a game far too young
To realize or fathom at that age
Mere Minutes of thinking 
Become a lifetime of consequences
….Abandoned…..….Just left behind…….The sorrow……… Disregarded…..


If regrets were going to be made
Thoughts of other options should have been considered
Said you could never see yourself get rid of me
Yet I am just left behind  
Blind to not have picked up on your distance
Surprised because our timeline revealed the signs
Reasons are irrelevant 
….Deserted…..….Just left behind…….The pain……… Overlooked…..


Spoke how two wrongs never make it right
You should practice what you preach 
Periods I needed you the most but only found emptiness
Guidance through the hardships of life 
I wish you would have had my back
Selfishly you disappear on me
Something that I would never do to my seed                                          
….Discarded…..….Just left behind…….The torment……… Neglected…..

 

Lost so much time, Reconciliation impossible 
Too many unanswered questions and reasons misunderstood 
Dilapidation caused by the homes that you came from
Foundations broken and damaged even back then
How could your lives have been more important than mine
Would give up my own life before abandoning my child
This heartless cycle ends with me
….Forsaken…..….Just left behind…….The anguish……… Forgotten…..

Debbie Guzzi January 28, 2011 at 1:12 PM so very powerful, abandonment is something few get over, but some can forgive, my verse Father speaks of my feeling of abandonment as a child. I liked the way you ended each verse trailing off...as they did..Light & Love
