Dear Mommy

Dear Mommy

A Poem by Katerina Felinova

Don't you remember?
Where this all began?
Daddy always left us
And refused to be a man?

Don't you remember?
Those nights you cried in bed?
You'd tell me to lock all the doors
And I'd sleep with you instead?

Don't you remember?
Those times I'd yell "Stop!"
As Daddy laid his hands on us
And we'd have to call the cops?

Don't you remember?
That day we said goodbye?
We packed our bags and walked away
You, my brother and I?

Don't you remember?
All that we went through?
You have a new 'daddy' now
But I still need you too...

Don't you remember?
That you are still MY mother?
I know he has two daughters 
But you'd leave me for another?

I guess you don't remember!
And there's nothing I can do.
I tried to keep our family together
All that was missing was you.

This poem ties together with my other poem Dear Daddy.. They both are constructed the exact same way... Please read and review them both if you wish. Thank you.

Clever. Very clever.

A little dark, but honest and not ultimately hopeless.

Broken family styled writing is usually cliched and obvious. You avoided that for the most part... and that ain't easy.

(i love when there's layers; this piece has layers)

YOU are MIGHTY Jungle Kat! You pull at my heart with such a release of pain and anguish. Your pen would win in a sword fight any day! Huzzah!! My heart goes out to all those suffering such heartache, you are in my prayers.

:) Thank you!
Oh Kat! I'm not sure which one was more emotionally pulling for me. No...I think this one was, cause I just couldn't imagine a mom being like this. Dad's yes... mothers now. I would think that it makes life for a pretty funky evolution eh? Big Hugs!
One thing I know from reading this, is that you are a strong cookie. For it takes strength to pen such a piece. Thanks for sharing another window of you. I think every little piece helps the soul and spirit in someway. =)

Poetically... it was wonderful!
The only thing I'd suggest is to make the blanket statement... "You shouldn't start a line with AND" ;p

Your Friend,

This is such a sad and tragic story. You wrote it so well with a nice continuous flow throughout.

Thank you for reading.
Your flow made me wish I had more to read. The poem does indeed make one feel both angry and sympathy. I say well done.

Thanks so much
My goodness. The seriousness and the intensity is striking. This almost made me want to cry....and get a little angry too. I am so fortunate after all!

The good news I suppose is that you have made it. You seem like you have mostly gotten past much of this and have turned out well.
Believe that my friend.
