Something you need to know.
|
by MEL. This is a poem about the viewpoint of a cruel and crazy mother. It's about abortion. This poem was originally written on 26 January 2008.
For it is poetic justice
That being wicked almost immediately guarantees retribution
All it takes is a matter of time
The rest is up to the world to decide
..So it seems.
Stare deep into the horizon
Admire the rebounding skyline
Frown at the dark clouds that head your way
The grudge that is borne within you
Can never be undone, only altered
Crippled and handicapped beings
Lurk in the shadows
And ultimately
Always traumatize
Seeking to destroy
And unleash everything else
In your black heart.
Through the glassy waters
You can always ignore the rippling currents
Or the swirling pools
That always end up ever so deadly
But you can never hide from yourself
As the mirror captures your reflection
The light blinds you through and through
You shy away
From the guilt staring back at you
The speed of sound
Recline, replay
Look at yourself, they scream
One last try, another shot at it
Bullets from revolvers in your head
Go to your brain
Sooner or later
You will be gone, too.
The dark that you used to be so proud of
Will consume you
A smattering of your heart
Will trap you
Stop looking for someone to help you
Because no one will
Because you need to know the pathetic truth
Of your life and death
Because you will share the same fate as me
Stop pretending
As the days fade away
In shades of grey
You will be the victim of deceit and lies
You will soon join them
To be a predator; or you may be the prey.
But I'll hold you in my arms right now,
You pretty baby
So innocent and so pure
Untouched and beautifully clean
I wish I could protect you for all time
But words are all I can say to you
All I can do is pray earnestly for you.
Your eyes are shut
Because God won't allow you to see the danger
The chaos in this lifetime, the evil deeds of mankind
You are shielded from this world
But when you open your eyes
Don't fear
I have transported you into another world
You will never come alive
But you haunt all my dreams at night
Pretty baby
Stay beautiful
..I won't let them see you, the only perfection.
Forgive me,
I can't hold you forever
Only when I close my eyes
I see you in my arms
Forgive me,
I took away your life
Away you will go
Off to a place, nobody knows
Forgive me
I had no choice
I let go of you
The life that was within me
Hurts me forever
But I had to discard this life
I have to leave you out
You're the wound beneath my flesh that I cannot close
Hideous images of you flash through my mind
You try to hold on tight to the life you never had
And will never get.
It is a relief to bid you goodbye
My burden, my truth and my lie.
