Dust to dust

We could speak of a game of roulette, that is what it has become.
My integrity compromised, it was something you all needed to know.
I am marked now as bad, we know what would have happened had I not told.
I have placed one foot in front of the other, just as I always have done.
No phone calls returned just ignored and left in the cold,
I thought I could have expected more from all of you.
I know the situation was bad, and many tears did fall.
We cried together for hours, salty tears covering the phone.
Now my phone sits silent, I am brushed to the side.
How can after 24 years, in such a crisis leave me behind?
I wrestled with my decision, for hours and a sleepless night.
Knowing that this secret withheld it just really wasnt right.
She was your daughter and you had the right to know,
now the lynch mob was set forth, I the star of the show.
I thought I had a handle on things and was doing my best to move on.
Tonight the demons all came knocking once more,
as I sat and stared at the phone, wanting to try to reach you all one more time.
Just to say hi and see how you were doing, if you were going to be ok.
The bullet was shot back at me, for doing what was right.
So I sit with a half full glass of wine, going over deep thoughts in my mind.
I wish none of it had happened, but I thought we could rally around her
Trying to mend her broken soul, the more together the merrier.
I see it isnt going to happen, I a speck of dust in a lonesome wind.
I wont try to call or leave another message, Im done never again.
I will nurse the wounds that surfaced, after for a month I have stuffed them all down.
Learn to live my life without all of you, it is evident you will not be around.

| It sounds like you tried to do the right thing Michelle, but you can't force the issue from the other side. I am sorry for your loss. As time heals wounds, I hope it does and brings you all back together when cooler heads prevail........Mike |

Sometimes people have a hard time forgiving themselves. They often hide it in the guise of not forgiving someone else. It sounds like the people of which you speak need to look inside themselves, not much you can do about that.
Such sadness within you, but I know there is strength too. |

I agree with everyone....you are one of the strongest people I have ever met in my life. And alot of what you have put into words on this page I can relate to but what I am going through has been brought upon me by my own hand and no one elses. Once again I agree that you have made the first step..now the ball is in their court. Wounded spirits take time to heal. Although I do not know what happened I can tell you that it took alot of courage and strength to come forward to all of them that were involved. I am sorry for your loss.
