Pitiful to be so consumed with such greed
reaching for everything except what you need
so deathly afraid of being without
the ones who do care you've begun to doubt

Too bad for the children, alone & ignored
who barely could wait 'til they walked out the door
the children now grown with a home of their own
who've left you to reap all the seeds you have sown

your words, you once felt, where as good as gold
but your words were found to be tired and old
your speeches, so beautiful when first they are spoken
turn quickly to lies & at best are token

promises are made with charisma and flair
pretty boxes with ribbons but empty as air
for your only real love was your selfish reflection
and now you are left with your one true connection...

you...

Thank you, Noah, Michael, and Nancy. This is actually a poem constructed of two incomplete works from the 90's.  I appreciate your comments. It's good to be back...

This must have been a bit painful to write, yet perhaps part of a healing process. You have been missed. Welcome back.

It was indeed hard to write simply because I wasn't feeling it. Thanks for the welcome back, I appreciate it...
