Array ( [sid] => 150980 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => WHEN YOU LEFT [time] => 2009-06-23 17:41:59 [hometext] => [bodytext] => When you passed
I was lost.
I was only nine years old
Left to face the world alone.
I wondered what I did wrong for you to leave me.
Now I know you are at peace and not in pain no more.
My life spiraled out of control.
No one wanted me any more.
I was a problem.
Or a toy for them to use and abuse.
Now I am twenty six years old.
I have a family of my own.
I wish you were here to see them.
Mamaw you were my blanket though the storms.
I just wanted to let you know you taught me to love my children.
And how to stand on my own.
When you left
I cried all the time.
Until I came to a peace
knowing that you will always be in my heart.
Nancy Buford

WHEN YOU LEFT

Topic: SadPoetry

When you passed
I was lost.
I was only nine years old
Left to face the world alone.
I wondered what I did wrong for you to leave me.
Now I know you are at peace and not in pain no more.
My life spiraled out of control.
No one wanted me any more.
I was a problem.
Or a toy for them to use and abuse.
Now I am twenty six years old.
I have a family of my own.
I wish you were here to see them.
Mamaw you were my blanket though the storms.
I just wanted to let you know you taught me to love my children.
And how to stand on my own.
When you left
I cried all the time.
Until I came to a peace
knowing that you will always be in my heart.

Beautiful!

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
