The Other Side of Me ღ KKD ღ

The Other Side of Me Rivers with no end... that is this path I walk Hidden behind a mask always afraid to let my heart talk. Oh once I dared from this mask to peek from behind The wrath that spewed left me speechless and blind When once have I dared to speak of my pain and hurt I was accused of being nasty and mean of which my heart was severely burnt This anger they insist to cling to so tight leaves me to cry in the dead of night. My heart has been ripped and carelessly left to die It has been made clear of no concern if I cry. I have been told what my heart holds so dear is not my concern that was made quite clear I don't understand this hate they bear when my love for them I try so hard to share   The pain is to great when on the door I do knock It's not even answered I fear it's been locked They make it quite clear in their life I have no place I will now back away and drop out of this race If by some chance they should ever have the need Just know I will be there with great love and speed Over the years I've prayed for them to finally see what really lies with in The Other Side of Me ღ KKD ღ Original by Donna DeLong Matthews © (All rights reserved) Sept 2010 Crystal Gayle The Other Side of Me View All My Poems

Oh, Donna, I so understand your pain. I'm so very sorry you are also feeling the unfair anger from the child you love more than your own life. I was so hurt the other day that I was truly suicidal....it was only my deep faith that pulled me through the darkness....I will keep you in my prayers. This is a beautiful write...

Our children so often fail to realize that even though they are grown, we cradle them in our hearts and prayers as we did when they were young. What they may take as interferance is only a mother's heart that wants their children's hearts to feel far less pain in their lives, than we have experienced in ours. The need to feel that we are loved would be so easy to give. A phone call, of how are you really doing Mom, that is sincere in the asking would seem to be just a simple step but would bring so much to a heart that has long been waiting to receive. My sadness in this write is not only the flowing tears that I know you cried in its writing, but for the loss for your children that do not recognize the love that you so deeply hold for them. The younger generation always feels there is time. But while they wait for the time to come, for us the years go on, and we cannot help but wonder if there ever will come the time that our hearts will feel that we are truely loved by their own. For you I wish that time to come yesterday. A beautiful write of pure, truthful emotions. A tears escapes my eyes for I have lived so much of this pain with you. I love you my friend. KKL
