"Too Many Lies"

I'm tired of your countless lies
They have finally shattered my heart
I think its best if you and I split apart for a while
It's time for me to depart

You are my sister
Once of my dearest friends
But your hateful lies and spiteful ways
Leave me with no weapons to defend

Give to you as much as I can
But now I see its doing more harm that good
You steal and lie from your own family
We excuse it all more than we should

How did things get like this?
What happened to you to make you this way
Do not blame it on Mom's death
The truth I want to hear you say

Just once...look me in the eyes
And give me an honest answer, not another lie
Or is that you can't
And that we must truly say goodbye?

My heart breaks for the little girl you use to be
Memories play over in my mind
Of easier days long ago
Another place, another time

You are a woman now
Able to make your own choices, I now see
If ever you should decide you want back our relationship
You know where to find me

Very sad Amy when these kinds of things come in between sisters and brothers...but if she won't change or listen...that's too bad but maybe she will come around when she realizes that her relationship with those of her flesh and blood are the most important...be honest with her and give her time.....glad to read your work.....take care...ethome....

Amy* You have just pegged yourself one step
deeper in my heart...this poem could have
been written from my heart...it's so hard to
walk past the ones we love due to the pain
that they cause us...but once we decide that
we deserve the love and the respect that we
give...then we can truly live, let go, and
walk in the sunshine...sweetie you need to
walk in the sunshine now...let your heart
heal from the pain it's been caused and know
that you are an angel....walking on earth~
*hugs* my friend!


You cannot dance in the sun until you have cried in the rain~

My heart goes out to you Amy...I've had my fights with my sisters, but there hasn't been anything too serious. I hope you and she can mend the relationship...I'll keep you two in my prayers.

Amy, Oh love, this is soooo hard to have to do and say for you. Your blood family is or should be the most reliable, to hear lies and deception from them is such a betrayal. This is such a brilliant piece of writing from you, your stregth of spirit shines through this as in all your work. Such talent that you have, and everything you write reflects that. It truly does. I love this one, really excellant work.
Take care

Only a memory of the same

WOW!! I am so touched by these responses.
I'd like to address you all one by one
but right now I got tears running down
my face. This was a very hard poem for me
to write but even harder to carry out.
I am so glad I shared it with all of you,
my wonderful friends at Passions. Each of
you is an Angel!

BDC-your response has deeply touched my heart!!

take care.
love ya,
~amy~
