A DISCARDED JEWEL

A poem on how a child feels after being abandoned by her mother..Tons of questions with no one to answer...

There are days, when I wonder

Wonder where you are

Wonder where you went

Leaving me alone to defend

 

I hope you would come, every single day

A day is not easy to pass by,

I wish you would just come and say

Oh! My cupcake come here, don't worry

I know am late, I am so very sorry

When mama is here nothing to fear

My teddy bear, you are my dear

 

I wish you were there, In my childhood

Lulling me to a treacle chocolaty dream

A hope that you would buy me new toys

When, I did better than I could fare

The hope still throbbing in my heart,

Even after those precious years apart.

     

I wish you were here to comfort

Saying darling love, but never hate

The agony in my heart a part of me

Reminding me of a banshee

Why mama, Did you leave such everlasting pain

With no one to lean on to, or anything to gain

 

Oh Mama! What was your reason

To dump your newborn child

Oh Mama! why could you not take me along

Was, I a trouble even though so small?

How I wish you were here with me today

We could have stayed together

Forgiving each other, No need to betray

 

Today, I have every thing in my life

Except, a sense of completeness

A solitude resting deep in my heart

Reminding me of a wandering soul

That has neither pulse, nor a beating heart

No tears of blood, or happiness to depart

My wish for you is still the same

May you come home, safely putting an end

To this Heart-wrenching game

excellent work tinged with angst and sadness

Thankyou...:)

[Claire Twinn]

This made me so sad- well expressed! Perhaps the child might also feel rejected/worthless and maybe angry in later life too?

[Cerise]

Thankyou for your opinion..:)

I understand this poem. Loss of a mother or father leave us with something missed. I had no father near. Made me a good father. I insured I spend time with my children. Thank you for sharing your thoughts in the excellent poem.

As poignant and sad as any piece of writing I've read on this matter...I'm fortunate enough to not have to endure this scenario but I certainly feel that pain having read this poem...in fact it almost brings a sense a guilt to me as one on the outside looking in...I'm not how else I could express my affinity for this piece.

Thankyou for your kind words..:)

Always to question... the "Why?" and wonder "was it me?"

An emotion-full write.

Angst-ridden.

I like your ideas, style use, and flow, and how you project these three- bring them out more to set yourself apart from the mundane.

[Cerise]

Aww..Thankyou so much for such kind words..:)

[gombeggar]

much improved...but perhaps it should be 'Oh Mama! What...' and 'Oh Mama! Why...' and no comma after 'Except' and perhaps 'Heart-Wrenching'

...not being picky just trying to help

[Cerise]

Thankyou..am lil bad with punctuations..:P....thankyou for help..:)

[WingsToFly]
