The Pledge

I tell you that I love you,
but you don’t believe me.
I try to hug you,
but you don’t like to be
touched.
Every time to I try to kiss you,
you say that you’re sick.
I try to be there for you when,
you’re feeling down;
but you say you want to be 
alone.
Why don’t you embrace my
 love?
“Because when my mom told 
me she loved me, she beat me 
every day. She never hugged 
or kissed me not even once.
Please tell me how can I wel-
come and embrace love when
my own mom didn't love me? 
Oh by the way I never knew 
my dad”.
“I understand you so much clear-
er now. You have been through 
so much my love. But know this I
pledge my love to you until you 
believe”.

Akkina Downing November 26, 2017 at 5:37 PM This so sad and heartbroken. I myself didn't know my father until I was in my early teens. But I was most loved by my mother and family. A touching poem Alexis. Hugs and smiles dear :)
