You Left Me

I wrote this poem about all the abandonment I've faced in my life, from my dad kicking me out of his home last year, saying I'm no longer welcome. To the issues being adopted has caused in me

You left me 

You left me out in the rain

As if in your eyes,

I was nothing but a strain

you left me 

forced out of your life

your home

the only place I have ever known 

you left me 

you've severed all ties 

you've said your goodbyes 

As the distance grows,

my how time flies

mother, you left me

in the arms of another

and walked away

crying, begging you to stay

Father, you left me 

Proving water is thicker than blood 

forced out, 

by one the who falsely calls herself mother

Stricken down by the one I called brother 

My love, you left me 

When things got tough

When Life got rough

when I needed you most

 

You left me 

and in this world I am alone

without a life

without a home 

and in this world I am weak

Preyed on by emotions

 

that make me so meek

Into no arms can I fall

...why even live at all?

In a world that will bring you up

just to beat you down

left all alone without a sound

abandoned....

....happiness.... you left me...

A sad poem... I can understand why this would be hard to write and I too understand how it could have helped even if it was only a little. A little is better than none right? I can relate to this as well... I lost someone, the one person I loved most and they just walked out on me... Anyways thanks for sharing.
