Salts of Pain

Since the day you were born
i woke up smiling every morn
to pick you up , play with you and sometimes fall asleep infront of you favorate tv show
no we had no idea what the future holds
the laughter and the tears, all at the same time
fun and joy, you were my only sibling
my best friend
you were all i had
not one day have i treated you bad in anyway
yes, there were days when you were mad
sometimes you threw me with things
but you were the baby
you still are
i sit and think of you... trying not to see all that as only a memory
the pain i feel in my heart is unexplainable
tears streaming down my face 
as i miss you dearly
a month has passed and i haven’t seen your face
people gossip and ask questions i don’t know answers to
the stories i hear from people i thought cared 
I’m in total disgrace
missing....
where can you be
missing...
we tried all we could
salts of pain  are all i have
salts of pain on my pillow case
weeping...day by day 
still i don’t see a way
hope i find in my salts of pain
light i see in my salts of pain
never will i stop till you are home where you belong
salts of pain healing my heart
salts of pain i  can't believe we are apart

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
