Disappointment fills my life
Because you continue to lie
You said you'd be here for me
But for some reason I cry

Your hundreds of miles
From my life
You can't help me now
With my pain and strife

I can't handle much longer
I see things coming to an end
So many things have gone wrong
Your not even here to be my best friend

That's what your supposed to be right
My dearest bestest friend
Why aren't you here doing your job
To see that my death doesn't win

Can't you see my pain
Don't you have that motherly sense
Can't you tell when I'm contemplating death
When things in life are becoming to tense

But your not here
To stop the pain,to nurture my heart
Because things aren't good
My life has been torn apart

Where are you now
We're supposed to be together
You need to come back to stop me
Before I end my life forever

Your the one thing
My happiness depends on
But you ran away from me
And now you're long gone

My life seems empty
My heart hurts for your love
Where are you when I need you
When things get real tough?

*** Just to let you know... I am not suicidal and never was. It was just a way of expressing how I felt about my mom abandoning me.-Carissa

Oh wow, this was quite the powerful poem. I liked it though. I felt the feeling of some frantic writing here. Like you just didn't know what to do. You came to a stop sign and just didn't know where to turn due to lack of guidance. Sorry your mom abandoned you, it sucks i know......
Stay strong



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I'm so sorry!! This happens to soooo many people and I neverf understood how someone could just get up and leave someone's life forever, without even thinking of how this will effect the other person. Your poem was awesome! Keep up the great work!!

How come it is so easy for a person to say "I hate you," but it is so difficult for someone to say "I love you" and really mean it????

I agree with Dopey, very good work. And very powerful. I like all your work I've read so far, so keep posting things!

You've expressed some deep pain in this piece and I'm truly sorry that you are dealing with issues of abandonment. I'm glad to see by your note, that you are not truly suicidal.

Please do note that we have guidelines within the forums that ask that you refrain from posting poetry that may glorify suicide or show it as a valid option. I felt that this piece was more an expression of your pain, and is not showing suicide as a valid option, but please do keep this in mind for future posts, as we do have members as young as 9 who visit these forums.

Thank you for understanding, and I do hope you are able to work through these difficult issues.

Best wishes,
/Kit

Thank you for all your comments. I appreciate them greatly. Just to explain alittle bit... I am coping with things with my mom quite well. I guess it would be easier if I hadn't ever known my mother(not that it makes anything easier).But I had a relationship with her and the she up and left me. I know she is somewhere in Arizona but I don't know where. She took my brother and sister with her. But left me with my aunt. I am happy here... Just times when I miss her. And times when I hate her for just leaving me. But, hurt and pain is a part of my life and I deal with it by writing poetry. So, I handle these times really well. I have written other poetry that is not so depressing or hurtful.. when I get a chance I will post more work... on a more happy note. Thanks again... Carissa

Wow great poem..I am sorry you are going through this difficult time, and I hope things get better soon.  I went through a similar situation a few years ago and the only thing that can solve the pain is love and time.  Good luck in future writings.

I never thought that you would ever be the one to let me down. I guess that just goes to show how wrong I always am.
