Only One Question

 

 

I was planned,

so, I can’t understand

why.

You tossed me high

up, up, up

touching the ceiling,

dust flutters as shoulders jar.

They watch in horror,

praying you won’t miss.

I cried and screamed

you didn’t come back.

Novelty gone,

a toy- no longer played with.

Did you stop to kiss me goodbye?

Such a deeply moving, sad write about the loss of a parent's love... Your question without an answer leaves us with such a bitter taste of tears and pain. So beautiful...

Phew. The poem takes the breath right out of ya mouth.
Very powerful piece.
Heavily moving.
Love it.

Quite sad and reflective, Breeze. A nicely written piece. Yo.
