The first man to hold me
The first man to see me cry
Fourteen years went by
Then you decided to end you life

You made a promise
Daddy why did you break it
I know times were hard
You were hurting
Mom was leaving you
Things just werent working

The letters O and D
Put them together and what do they mean
Selfish
How could you act so helpless

Every night at 11:11 I make a wish
For time to rewind
Life to give you a chance one last time
Every night the same wish
For you to not have been so selfish

In his thoughts life wasn't worth living. I'm sorry for your pain and anger.

It's very sad, but for some the burden of life's pains becomes unbearable. We should not judge, though it feels like being abandoned. The secret to stop your nightmares is to forgive him.

Intense first offering.

Welcome to Pip!

Love,

I agree with the words Margherita wrote. Sometimes we just do not see the suffering others are burdened with, no matter how close they are to us. Please forgive and love the man you loved. He did not do this  to hurt you. He has not changed just gone away because it was too hard for him to continue on. best to you, latearrival

Welcome to PIP!  Your poem is very sad and well written.  I look forward to reading more from you.

There must be a poem in here somewhere.
