Best Sorryday Poems
A secret life
A forgot memory
Everyone moved on
But me.
Live on, live on
My secret one
I'm sorry your life
Had barely begun
I'll die with this love
In my heart
Please don't forget it
It's all for you
Because every day you've been dead
I'll die too
Your still there someplace
One day I will come back for you
I'll find you
And I'll take you home
The thought of you still lingers there
No amount of sorry will change that
I left you all alone
But I will find you
When I find myself.
Remember me,
I am the woman who on that dark Friday night walked alone not knowing what was
to come my way.
I am the woman that endured endless pain from the hands of a stranger taking
advantage of my weakness and immaturity.
I am the woman that on that Friday night laid there in the rain holding what was
once my virgin body but was now condemned and covered in scars and blood.
Remember me,
I am the woman who tried so desperately to hide the 6-week year old pouch that
held the results of the worst day of my life.
I am the woman who was then shammed and disowned by my family after failing
miserably to hide my deepest secret and was now forced to provide for myself and
the child growing inside of me.
I am the same woman who chose not to take the easy route of abortion but to give
my child life because he deserved that much.
Remember me,
I am the woman that went through 19 hours of labor and suffered the worst pain
that ever struck my body.
I am the woman that bore the child of my rapist without any support or anyone to
bring me comfort.
But I am also the same woman that made the toughest decision of my life when I
put you into the arms of another family and said goodbye to you forever.
But remember me,
Because I am the woman who wrote you endless letters every day from your birth
until present day of your 18th birthday.
Because I am the woman who has been to every event in your life without you
knowing, trying to keep my distance yet still remaining close.
Because I am the woman whose life forever changed that dark Friday night yet my
only regret is not being a part of yours.
So remember that you had a mother that loved you so much that she gave up the
only person in her life to ensure that you had a better life than she could provide for
you.
So remember this and remember me forever because I am and will always be your
mother.
I went to visit a very dear friend well advanced in age
Confined now to a nursing home as time just slipped away
For many years she lived next door I would visit her house each day
The kindness that she showed to me could never be repaid
I walked into her tiny room and what a sight to see
Letters and pictures everywhere, several gifts from me
Confined to the bed she looked my way I could tell how she was feeling
As she pointed to the many gifts all hanging from the ceiling
We sat and talked most of the day her heart was filled with joy
Reminiscing on good times that we had when I was just a boy
Deep in her eyes she hid the pain of age and loneliness
Despite my efforts I knew deep down I could repay her kindness
As the day went on and darkness fell she seemed so very sad
She knew my departure was very close being lonely all she had
I went to get some food and drink to boost her thoughts and feelings
And when I got back to her room she was hanging from the ceiling
Despite the efforts of the staff that day she could not be revived
Now a room full of the life she lived was all that was left behind
It pained my heart deep down to know her life had come to this
She died alone in a dreary room she thought she would not be missed
I wish that I could have done much more than visit now and then
So she would know I loved her so for the person she was back when
I knew this visit would be my last for inside I had a feeling
I would come back to find her now at rest hanging from the ceiling
