FIND PEACE BEFORE DEATH

poem by: Wendy Phelan
Written on Oct 29, 2015

I loved and adored you as a child,
You resented my gentle way, 
I tried so hard to please you,
All I held dear you stole away

In awe as you put on your lipstick,
I can still smell your expensive perfume
It was my mistake when I got sick
After that my dreams were doomed

I found safety alone under covers
You bullied my body and mind,
I felt sad for you my poor Mother,
So angry, so mean and unkind

Why did you happily invite them in,
Those wrought with evil intention,
Those not to be trusted, did things,
Their actions to horrid to mention

When I have asked you to tell the truth,
I knew every time I had wasted my breath,
I see in your eyes your guilt is the proof,
I hope you find peace before you meet death.

This poem touched me Wendy......I felt the sadness in your words.....a mothers love should be instinctual.......I never knew, or met my father, so my mother loved, and put me on a pedestal too high for what I thought I deserved........just by putting your feelings into poetry will be so therapeutic, as I found ....thanks Wendy for sharing your emotions.......loved it, ...good luck girl....
Christopher Russon commented:
