Echo From the Past

So much regret

From such an early age.

As soon as I could speak up for myself,

I knew love was leaving me.

Not once a maternal rejection.

Twice, the mothers let me go.

Abandonment is what I know.

Since you've gone

You'd think I'd be strong.

What did I understand back then?

What do I understand nearing my end?

But I knew

I wouldn't have to hear you

Your lies, and destructive words.

When you died, the only comfort.

But so many years later

Your lies still echo from the past.

Such uncertainty all through the years.

I've got no one today too

Hold me close,

Don't ever let me go.

Oh I know!

When love was leaving.

A child builds up the adults around.

Only for him to be put down.

Chased about the roundabout.

By your ghost of envy and jealousy.

Oh please no more

stop your shouts!

Love has long ago left me.

You're just an echo from the past.

Is There Nothing More?

Dinner is on the wall Children crying, infant screaming Fear freezes her when he calls Between them there is silence peeling Its the way they only know Its how love they struggle to show He knows nothing more She can’t bear the blood and sores She understands she must flea But how else can she Be? _______________ Copyright © 2020 HeardWords America

His Love for Her

Don't leave me here! Don't you leave me here this way! What will all my friends say? Who was it that carried me on the bier? Well, will you pray for me? Or can't you wait to see another man, if only you can? Life with you was never, the kind I wanted. You called me "friend" That was after you put an end to our coupling. That was after you had my ring cut off your finger. I can hear you singing after that. You had your own definition for being a swinger. A woman, free and unattached. Since then we've never been intimate. No matter the many times I had to wait. You would love me Only by cleaning and laundrying for me. Still you'd never give me a bath. We had a life together you never let last. Don't leave me here! Don't you leave me here this way! What will all my friends say? "She buried him, with his love for her. She's not so demur." _________ copyright ©️ 2023 SDKilmer, LLC All Rights Reserved www SDKi
