Second Born No More I wonder... Perhaps thinking it so An explanation at least from Fate An offered truth. Another day gone Another day blue This mess of mine Today I called it life. Yet those who dismantle Feel not When their actions Cause strife. Dark skies tonight No stars in sight My heart beats Not as life's pump But a valentine from long ago Torn apart Before love laid down and stopped the fight. To grieve How is it this broken tether won't let go? Stalking me no matter the day Or denied at night? A haunting, an evil My heart, my heart So long it takes to heal From the inside out A blight caused by the confusion of you. Decades ago I denied recognition Rejected all possibility Something amiss in you. My son, I gifted you a name And now the sound chokes in my ears And visions of you disassemble Before my sight A horror too intense to sleep At night. Memories Thinking back to when you were young They dance and parade In the light of day Like a child's laughter That gets caught up and carried away In the musty breeze of autumn As leaves crackle beneath my feet. Remember, remember... I can't. Death of character has taken you away. And character for some Picked piece by piece Is what a mother hopes Will accumulate and gather Raising her son into a man. Fractured. For you this did not occur And the failure of this A sadness so great Days seem endless For me your life destroyed. Still I hold on Because next year this time I may have no need to hold on And then, my second born, you are truly gone. Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades |
