"Too Many Lies" I'm tired of your countless lies They have finally shattered my heart I think its best if you and I split apart for a while It's time for me to depart You are my sister Once of my dearest friends But your hateful lies and spiteful ways Leave me with no weapons to defend Give to you as much as I can But now I see its doing more harm that good You steal and lie from your own family We excuse it all more than we should How did things get like this? What happened to you to make you this way Do not blame it on Mom's death The truth I want to hear you say Just once...look me in the eyes And give me an honest answer, not another lie Or is that you can't And that we must truly say goodbye? My heart breaks for the little girl you use to be Memories play over in my mind Of easier days long ago Another place, another time You are a woman now Able to make your own choices, I now see If ever you should decide you want back our relationship You know where to find me |

Very sad Amy when these kinds of things come in between sisters and brothers...but if she won't change or listen...that's too bad but maybe she will come around when she realizes that her relationship with those of her flesh and blood are the most important...be honest with her and give her time.....glad to read your work.....take care...ethome.... |

Amy* You have just pegged yourself one step deeper in my heart...this poem could have been written from my heart...it's so hard to walk past the ones we love due to the pain that they cause us...but once we decide that we deserve the love and the respect that we give...then we can truly live, let go, and walk in the sunshine...sweetie you need to walk in the sunshine now...let your heart heal from the pain it's been caused and know that you are an angel....walking on earth~ *hugs* my friend! You cannot dance in the sun until you have cried in the rain~ |

My heart goes out to you Amy...I've had my fights with my sisters, but there hasn't been anything too serious. I hope you and she can mend the relationship...I'll keep you two in my prayers. Elizabeth |

Amy, Oh love, this is soooo hard to have to do and say for you. Your blood family is or should be the most reliable, to hear lies and deception from them is such a betrayal. This is such a brilliant piece of writing from you, your stregth of spirit shines through this as in all your work. Such talent that you have, and everything you write reflects that. It truly does. I love this one, really excellant work. Take care Mushy ![]() Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

WOW!! I am so touched by these responses. I'd like to address you all one by one but right now I got tears running down my face. This was a very hard poem for me to write but even harder to carry out. I am so glad I shared it with all of you, my wonderful friends at Passions. Each of you is an Angel! BDC-your response has deeply touched my heart!! take care. love ya, ~amy~ |
