Remember mom when you shouted, smacked and made me cry? <br />I was a wee child of five, you were my entire life. <br />Still after all this time I ask you, why? <br /> <br />Remember I asked you to love me, you couldn't, you turned, walked away, leaving me stood there drowning in my sadness, why? <br /> <br />Remember how you said how I remind you of my dad? <br />It made you, oh so sad, but me, I was glad, I loved my dad. <br /> <br />Memories I hold close to my heart. <br />The good ones I cherish, the bad ones won't part! <br /> <br />I contacted you recently and yes, I asked again, why? <br />You still cannot answer. Again I ask myself, why? <br /> <br />It's time for me now to put my memories on hold and swallow my pride. <br />I ask you, can we possibly make anew start? <br /> <br />My heart is in turmoil, thought my next breath spoken, <br />would be when you are six feet beneath the soil! <br /> <br />We have been given our last chance to make amends. <br />Please mom, say you love me. <br />Make my pain go away and my sadness end! <br /> <br />I love you mom.<br /><br />Deborah Ashdown<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/remember-26/
