You turned and walked away (Mom)

A POEM I WROTE TO MY MOM
I deal with all the issues
Of you leaving me that summer day
I question if you even liked me or loved me
If you had, maybe you would have stayed
Like the day you sent us to get ice cream
I was only 5 years old
When I returned you were gone
I could only wondered if I had done something wrong
I use to worry about you a lot
And still do till this day
Wondering if you ever missed me
And praying that you are o.k.
I pray to God constantly
To some how have your love
I\'ve cried about this so much
It cripples me deep inside
I\'ve begged, pleaded, and prayed
To have your unconditional love
And often think that this is to big of a task
For my God up above
But when you went away
I missed you so much that I ached
And wonder how you can be away from me
And not feel the same way
I wish that I could tell you
My deepest secrets, worries, and fears
So that you can console me
And wipe away my tears
Mom I love you so much
With all of my heart
But even if you were near
It would feel like we\'re world\'s apart
I wish that I could take a step 
Inside your mind and somehow understand 
How and if I could mean less to you 
Then you show me each day
I can not even begin to relate 
To any aspect of your life 
But I do know, that because of you 
I know exactly what not to do
You will never know 
Of my fragile, broken heart 
I die a little more each day
Wishing the pain would just fade away
Mom, my only prayer 
Before either of us leave this earth
That you get forgiveness 
And some how make it all ok
I didn\'t want to hurt you 
Or in any way make you feel bad 
I only wish I could had known how it feels
To have a Mother\'s love mainly on this day.

HAPPY MOTHER\'S DAY
