*Upfront, I would like to say, if this posts offends anyone I sincerely apologise, but I have to write this one out, and since you all have
come to be my second family, I wouldn't think of
posting it anywhere else**
I contacted my bio mother after 20 years, and she wants nothing to do with me. For any individuals who put their children up for adoption, this certainly isn't a shot at you, just my feelings. Thanks for all who might read.

Never To Go Back

I went out for this search, not sure of what I would find
Feeling stupid and lost now, I guess what they say is true about love being blind
Thinking you cared, I sought out to say hello to you after all these years
Now I fight back a heartache I've never know, along with a million or so tears

Still though I can't hate you, but God I wish that I could
You don't deserve my love, nor do you know how to love in return...you never could
You realise you lost a precious gift, through the years I've turned my life around
So why in the end do I feel like the clown?

Everyone told me not to find you, that it would only end in a terrible pain
They couldn't have predicted this though, I can't even bare to say your name
I will never go back, never go back with the love I once held in my soul
Now it's filled with this anger and hurt, how will I ever be whole?

I realise you have your reasons, maybe hearing I wanted contact filled you again with pain
I guess I'll never know what you think, for I'll never revisit this day ever again
Maybe I expected a miracle after a little over twenty years
I guess I just wanted the one person who could regarding this particular pain, to console my endless tears

An angel sits in heaven, and on tonight she cries, as much as I do
For she probably knew this all along, that her daughter would play the fool
I don't even know how to express, the storm that rages inside of me
Never do I think from all this will I be free

Please God help me, help me understand what she said
Let me forgive her if I can, instead of feeling empty and dead
At least now I know though, and this search has come to an end
And somehow with time, my broken shattered heart will begin on it's journey to mend



"love is like a butterfly--
if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"
~me~

Amy...sometimes it works out for the best..I can't feel the way you do for I have/had a loving mother and father..but it seems this woman didn't have the love in her for you...and gave you up to someone who could  give you that love

you have friends here who will appreciate and care

hugss
