To your words I respond with a sweet little poem,
A little tribute to the woman that once gave us a home,
A life we have lived to each there own,
Truly only looking for what was disowned,
A family were united we stand,
Only to fall behind selfish hands,
Consumed in our thought,
No mercy to be bought,
Traveling away from the ground that was ours,
A family that was trapped in it's secret bars,
Not bars of shame and pain we endured,
But of love that which our family was cured,
When she left we were free to feel as we wished,
Not knowing our true needs were to be ditched,
Family so close at once it seemed,
Never sourly learning how envy had reamed,
Torn apart, apart by blameless seeds,
Long ago unforgiven family deeds,
Never looking at the love once shared,
Thinking always who was it that really cared,
Held deep in our hearts twas two that did,
One in the heavens playing with her young boy kid,
The other left here without his love maimed,
Only his return to her his turmoil tamed,
But somewhere somehow hope still lives,
Love in our hearts her seed gives,
Passing away never knowing truly what would pass,
All the family lost in a mimes box of glass.
Twas her that held the family together,
Keeping our hearts high as not to wither,
Now we all share something deep in sorrow,
Even though we have parted on a different tomorrow,
The past we still share with Memom as our glue,
To do what we did when her presence was true,
Love is to relive the joyous life she did live,
All the memory's her heart did give,
I look back with tears thinking of her unconditional love,
Knowing there was nothing else I cherished above,
Selfish I was in her wishes for me,
Not knowing all that she had seen I could be,
Hope there was in her beyond all else,
Just wishing for me to be able to get out of myself,
Then a day I woke and realized it was not the family trapped,
But myself in my own will that has snapped,
Lost in my own crazy thoughts,
Praying to her for mercy to be sought,
What can I do without her by my side,
This still haunts me I just want to hide,
Why can I not let go and live a life like hers,
Where is it that I find lost loves cures,
I just can't let go of her gone away,
Just praying maybe she will come back to stay,
I realize now was not my family that ran,
Truly they all did all that they can'
But my hearts aches for someone to see,
All the pain that is truly within me,
I wish to find a piece in my heart,
One that is more whole then the others torn apart,
But it is to me as if they are all the same,
Shattered to dust I feel like I have been maimed,
How is that others go on,
I still can't believe that shes gone,
Angry in a way because here she is suppose to be,
Can't get over that she left me,
How selfish this is, I know truly I do,
But I just can't let go she was my glue,
So many question unanswered in my soul,
That I live in fear cause I do not know,
So sure I was bullet proof and all,
Not knowing or seeing how far I would fall,
