Alone

by sherri arthur   Jan 25, 2012


I sit by my window
13 don't know nothing
but sharrow
my mother is gone
gone from my life
13 just starting to
become a women
learn from a young age
that I was abandoned
abandoned with nothing
but hate
when I turned 14
nothing changed
watched outside
in this cold rain
a gleem of hope
that I see her again
fades in the darkness
15 I'm still waiting for her
to return
but sad still weighs me down
I am in school with a frown
but stright A's I get
for the hope my mother
will like to see me again
Sweet 16 a delight
still waiting
but for what
my mother
I wished I could have seen her
but no
no she never loved me
no she never cared
at last I'm 17
at first I thought it was my
mother
but no it was her brother
he came to tell me that
my mother passed
wished I could have said goodbye
on this could winters night

    I think you have penned a great poem of sorrow and the feeling of loss about your mother all throughout your life, as you realize the sorrow you felt, think about the sorrow that your mother also had to be facing, and she went to her grave still deep in sorrow, she had to have shared it with her brother for him to have let you know about her demise, but you have really put your thoughts down so openly, I hope that you have regained some sense of comfort in your poem, just by writing it. thank you for sharing it with us Harry Bryant
