You left

by Ashley Morris   Jan 1, 2005


I needed to talk.
Wanted to talk to you.
You came on.

Honey,
I told you I was scared.
Explained why.

In the middle,
You said I wouldn't hurt my kids,
Because they'd be your kids.

You don't know that.

I've been sexually and emotionally abused,
Then just watched my sisters....
Be beaten over stupid things.

I'm scared.

I talked a little more.
Then you said
"I have to go"

I can't believe you did that.
Wish you would have stayed,
Until I calmed down.

I just wanted you to say
Everything will be ok.
That you'd help me.
We'd prevent it together.

But you said
I have to go.
All I could do was cry.

    I sorry! I don't think you'll hurt your kids. There are 2 different types of people who come from any type of abusive families. 1: the type that "learns" that's how you deal with stuff and will do it cuz they saw it. and 2: the type will do everything they can to NOT be that way because they know how it felt and dont' want to do that to their kids. Ya know? I was abused (not sexually, but physically, emotionally, and mentally) and I am gonna try my best to be tyep 2.. that's who I think I'll be. Anyway, you're a great person and so I think it'll all be okay. You'll be a great parent. I love ya! Good poem btw.
