Im trying to reach you,
Your standing just there.
On my knees, I beg you forth
Embrace my care.
Your eyes stone cold, no reflection, remorse.
Hoping you'll love me, even by force.
Im walking toward you, but you keep stepping back.
How can you live with your soul so black?
I forgive you, forgive you all.
Im too tired to hate or even to crawl.
So here I'll wait, I'll stay as long as it takes.
Until you're convinced that we all make mistakes.
The lump in my throat, the ache in my heart,
The cramp in stomach, my soul ripped apart.
I know you dont get it as 'corrupt' is your mind.
But I'll love you always, and forever you'll find...
Your baby, your girl... Your daughter now grown,
With a whole new life and kids of her own.
Be there to watch us, laugh and live long,
Don't die alone, in lies and in wrong.
Let go of your pride and take hold of my hand.
I still wait on my knees, please help me to stand.

- Comment from author about the poem: Basically, my mother and I have had struggled to bond since my childhood. she used me as a vent for her anguish her whole life, ive always allowed it even as an adult, out of pity and hope of change. But my mistake I guess is that i let her abuse me like that for years and now its like she cant look me in the eye. Im one of 8 children, it was hard for her, but she doesnt want to believe that i understand and i dont hold grudges, always insists that i hate her when in fact, i alone from all my siblings is the one still calling, texting, visiting, inviting... Its sad when your own mother struggles to love you, but i know its not her fault hence my efforts.

Your poem and your comments put tears in my eyes, so poetic, a tragic beauty. So well written with genuine emotion. Excellent work!
I cant really imagine being in your shoes but your poem along with your comment told me that you are a understanding, forgiving, lovely person
Your poetic flow stone touches my heart. I'll pray for your bond as well as mine. Keep giving us your innermost thoughts and feelings.
Its a painful subject for me so i appreciate the positive feedback,
Cheers guys!
