Murder Was The Case

 

Never seen such beauty

Often losing myself in your eyes

Intrigued by their ambitious glow

A brownish hue like mine

I could enjoy your presence forever

If only we had more time

 

Years breeze by so fast

Who knew you’d be so bright

So strong with such charm

Who can resist you?

Your mother’s smile, and daddy’s height

The world wasn’t ready for your elegant stride

 

I’m not much for tears

But eyes can’t conceal my pride

As I watch you grow

Seeing your success, I simply can’t hide

Inside

Emotions over flowing

As you introduce your future spouse

I remember kissing you in a crib

Now you have your own house

Wise beyond your years

It’s apparent

I just pray that you make better choices than your parents

 

Reaching out my hand to yours

Trying to grasp a fading vision

My heart aches

Wishing I could reverse the decision

Never did embrace you as a baby

I pray God forgives and still saves

We

Me

My choice…

Robbed you of a chance

Murder was the case that they gave me

Scenes from a “would have been” journey of an unborn child's venture. The pages of the scrapbook are not blank just because no one else can view them.

Wow, tough topic to tackle.
I really liked the rhythm in this poem although the line "Who can resist you?" I felt through it off a little since the emphasis was on the first syllable. In the line "I just pray that you make better choices than your parents" I think that "than your parents" was unnecessary since the voice of the poem already seems to imply the speaker.
Overall, this was a really nice poem with excellent rhythm.
Nice write. :]

"Emotions over flowing
As you introduce your future spouse
I remember kissing you in a crib
Now you have your own house"

Wonderful ode to your or the subject's (unborn?) daughter. Great poetic scheme and word choices! Great write

As soon as I read the title my mind went to that Snoop Dogg song lol This poem was full of raw emotion and the flow was pitch perfect. As usual, wonderful job. Thanks for sending a request :)

This is a heartbreaking piece. Our choices always have consequenses but we rarely take the time to see how those choices affect others... Especially those we love. In a perfect world, we would always put those we love before our own desires. It would be hard to look back with regrets. Well penned. This piece is quite touching.
