3 years old
Packed in a taxi
Sent away

What did I do?
What could I say?

42 years old
Still asking the same

A child of 12
Again, asking to stay
Only to be sent away

What did I do?
What could I say?

And now your life is coming to a close
You ask for me
And wonder why I am not there

What did I do?
What could I say?

I wish you no ill
Just thought you should know

You had a choice to be my parent
I have chosen to no longer be your child

A heart rending story.
Beautiful. Touching. Awash in regret.
Nothing I could do, nothing I could say
will ever take you pain away.
So I will simply pray.



Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil.
"Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely".

Siren'sSong~
Certainly a heart-rendering piece.

'You had a choice to be my parent
I have chosen to no longer be your child'

*Hugs* for the pain of having to write it.
Prayers are with you.
