A Letter You Can Never See

ettolrahc

Dear Mum & Dad,

 

We wanted to be together,
Forever and ever.
But it got to the stage,
Where we couldn't turn the page.

 

We looked for a way out,
Wanted to scream and shout.
But you started to look ill,
Time couldn't stand still.

 

A strong family we are,
So I said "yes, move far."
You had to get away,
But I had to stay.

 

You had each other,
And even my brother.
It was difficult for me,
But I didn't let you see.

 

I was still in the county, 
For I did not flee,
So it was all down to me,
To fix what you could no longer see.

 

No resentment I hold,
Even when I was out in the cold.
With no where to stay,
I didn't even pray.

 

For I knew it was right,
Your future now looked bright.
I would do it all again,
Just to keep you sane.

 

But God forbid you ever see,
Just what it was like for me.
Love is all we need to see,
For you would move the world for me.

 

Lots of love,
C

  • Comment from author about the poem: I have shared this poem before, but today I am really feeling these things. - My family moved to another country within 2 weeks of having the idea, the family company went bust, my mother was loosing her hair, my father grinded his teeth away etc.. They had to move very quickly and I was left to sort out the business, house, find somewhere to live etc... whilst studying.

              What you did C. is good, how you wrote about it is even better! Family IS important, and in my opinion, they should see this letter.

                Thank you Fred. It is really interesting to note that you feel they should see this letter. I just feel it would break them if they did see it, they are oblivious to anything that went on for me and I feel maybe it's best it stays that way. Thanks again!
