Pages From My Heart

May 2011

I have yearned for you my whole life

Wanting to know your thoughts

I feel your feelings as I feel my own Locked inside, and hidden

As a young girl I would wait for you

Month after month anticipating your arrival

A lot of the time you never came

My mother’s tears reflected my own

And inside my heart something started to die

Like a flower thirsting for a drink

My lips are parched and you stand there holding the watering can

I needed something my mother could never give

A fatherly smile The touch of your hand on my little head

Your encouraging voice It never came

Well it did In dribs and drabs

Where were you?

No really where were you?

You never came home…

I waited for you..

I waited for you!!!

There’s a Hole in my heart that I’m trying to fill

I am strong

But this dull ache keeps me awake

and you are nowhere to be seen
