To a Brother, From a Mother's View

When I questioned you,
You shown me fierce fire
Of you black shining eyes.

Did you know it hurt?

Didn't you know each word
Are asked out of fear,
Are asked out of love,
My trembling heart?

I didn't mean to doubt
Your judegment or
Your friends' credibility.

All I wanted to know
WAs how you were doing,
Wanted to be closer
To you and gave you a hug.

Why didn't you tell me
What were in your heart?
I was tired of this
Gussing game and your stares.

What did I do wrong?
Was I wrong in wanting
To know more?
Was I wrong in trying
To touch
Your heart?

What did you want me to
Do for you?
How would you be pleased
To stay home longer?

I was desperate,
I was hopeless till
I had your words
That you were not in- astray.

Didn't you know,
We all wanted to be
Supportive
Of you?

Eliza~
Anyone who is a mother, can relate sooooooo closely to what you've said.
All we can try to do is LOVE-LOVE_LOVE ... someday, HOPEFULLY 'he' will understand that a Mother's heart NEVER stops trying ... and the tears are forgiven without asking~

i am a mother of two grown up sons and your words are so accurate. you express perfectly the love and frustration of wanting to do right by your sons and wanting to let them know how much you care and why you need to know them more.


excellent thanks for this one.

"Didn't you know each word
Are asked out of fear,
Are asked out of love,
My trembling heart?"

very good imagery, especially with the entrance, i could really picture it. Its a shame the rest got somewhat lost...its a beautiful poem and the them is very emotional and touching...

love,

Eliza:  Good job!  It's not easy to write from another persons perspective.
