MOM (Free verse) by INTRANSIT
I couldn't know your pain
when I was young.
Contemptible words from adults.
The flower that
never got to be.
The cruise that never set sail.
Assumptions for safety,
Putting family first.
Inner pain stifled.
Your position not
your fault.
Unwanted unscheduled misunderstandings.
Pain liquified,
coursing through your body.
The secondary killer.
Understanding unsearched for,
selfishness unseen,
Multiple compaction.
First time crashed
second time failed
Suggestions unheeded.
Time fleeting.
freight train time.
Age and love passing
Watching your pain
consumes me.
I will go on in hope.
Many culprits,
Changes never appear.
Five times lost.
A family reunited
on a mountainside.
A small blessing.
Love neverending,
love pushed aside.
A deeper bond is born
A blessing in disguise,
two split and fly.
Wholeness with a price.
Persona left behind,
thoughts carried with.
I can feel you inspiring
me.
