Sweet Little Honey

"SWEET LITTLE HONEY" My father had no respect for the world.. A big drug trafficker.. When I was just a little girl! Living for the glory of money. He smiled and looked down at me.. Sitting me on his lap he called me his, "Sweet little honey!" And told me, " This job is going to bring him to his death." Handing me a back pack. My daddy send me to what I thought was a school in Texas. Giving me a kiss and a pat on my back. He held my hand while we crossed the, Rio Grand. Carrying a 10 pound educational white brick book. I walked with a smile beyond the border into another land. Waving good-bye with his devilish look. I thought of nothing and got on that bus. 5 years pass, I'm 15 living a life like a crook. One day I asked my dad for some money. He sat me down calling me his, "Sweet little honey." And told me, "It's all his fault for leading me the wrong way!" Denying me the needs for my addiction. I got upset and aggravated by his reaction. I pulled out a gun with out a word to say. Pulling the trigger was my action. With out feeling guilt, I looked back at that one day. He called me his, "Sweet little honey." Handing me a 10 pound educational white brick book. Now I'm the one waving good-bye with the devilish look.. by;p.d. ** not my story**

PD Such a heart wrenching and emotional write. A very powerful story that is full of feeling and depth. Glad it is not real. Thanks for the wonderful comment on my Fallen Hero poem Hugs

Wow! Pistol packing PD, remind me to never call you my "Sweet Little Honey"! I think I would have sold the gun and dropped a dime on good ole river wading, drug trading, law evading dad:) However, this poem explains your sudden loss of interest. Don't let the smoke get in your eyes:)

* what a night and day without much of a dawns poem * “Beautiful LeeAnn” * such parallel unto the shadowed truths of many * and to find “Your Beautiful Light” * salvaging perhaps the wresting of a tad of darkened matter from * “The Beauty of Your Eyes” * is sooo good to behold although * scars always remain for those whom actually suffer these pangs * “Magnificent Creation of Poetry” * hugs and kisses * kisses and hugs * always and forever * and forever beyond * sarah

A very dark write, with a hint of humour! Nicely done.

Thanks for reading my poem and I'm glad I came to return the favor. I enjoyed this, something about the loss of innocence of the "sweet little honey" from her point of view, very interesting story.

Rereading this one, you wrote it very well, PD. Glad you are a fan of Greek gods, some of them are not so nice, but this one was amazing! (he is the topic of nearly all my romantic poems and he was a real guy who came and went quickly, much too quickly that summer of my young life!)

Tough story, all too true for many. When your life is a living hell, the conscience begins to wear thin. Good write. Glad it isn't your story. Vince

Reminds me of the Grateful Dead song - "Me and My Uncle". Dark, brooding work! Love Matthew Anish

smile -- i cannot tell, "Your Splendours," enough how that, this Amazing painting sheds sooo much sweetness upon, "Your Radiant Relections Glow My Dear." ~ and it surely does seem as, Yes, i have found my humble self but another pair, of "Beautiful Faves." ~ and 'thank you,' for blessing my Soul with, "Your Loveliness'," kind com; very nice and, "Precious" ~ love, Always, christopher ~

smile -- nothing like a sweet daddies love ~ Smile ~ "Your Beauty," made myself laugh aloud my dear, "Precious & 'Beautiful, Sydney LeeAnn.'" ~ this is truly a masterpiece of one may say, fact amid fiction poes within creations, moments of wisdom, empathy and both, dark and light although, the shades of hues, tilt towards the gray; at least, upon the lines of parallels truths in reality.... -- cont:)
