Gone; no goodbyes Sudden distortion of reality as a young girl tries to put together a jigsaw, shy of many pieces. Growing and learning, maturing girl wonders why he went. She wishes that man full of mystery could have seen her at the prom, at graduation; and she wonders if he knows she's eighteen years old --since he never could get it right. Often she thinks that he is closeby, watching her trade in her youth for knowledge. And still, after all these silent years, not a word, she feels he's coming back... She knows...he'll be back ------------------------------------ I wrote this on 3/4/95 (age 18) while thinking about how my father had disappeared from my life when I was 13 (I have since gained contact with him, however, in 2000 -- see, I knew!) Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end... |

Shannon...this is such a lovely and touching write. It reached in and tugged at my heart. Painful sentiments, but beautifully expressed. Hugs, ~Vicky "My friends are my estate." ~Emily Dickinson [This message has been edited by vlraynes (07-23-2003 09:43 PM).] |

 Thank you all, for your kind words. I am new to Open (usually post in CA) and I already feel quite welcome. And Scorpio, thanks, it is true that he missed a large part of my life, but as my mother says -- It is his loss, hee hee. Thanks again  Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end... |

Some fathers just can't sit still... enjoy your time with him, and if he disappears again? It will remain - his loss.... |

 Thanks, Sunshine! He lives in Mexico with his new wife (5 yrs older than me, and I'm 26, lol!) so we keep in contact via email. I did see him in 2001, when he paid for my visit. Thanks again for your encouragement.TD, I'm sorry to hear you've been through this too. It seems many of us have, which is really sad. If you want to chat, feel free to email me!

Such longing...and occasionally fulfillment...I hope you ahve found someone special in your life that has provided more fulfillment and less longing...James |

Thanks, James. I do have a special guy in my life who gives me everything I need. This poem was written about my father, though, and unfortunately nothing can fill that void...especially when I didn't even know why he left. All is well now, though, and thanks for your thoughts  Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end... |
