DefendedA Poem by Meghan.EFaith, hope, and love. We are told that the greatest of these is love. But I see one more virtue; trust.
Nothing is possible without trust. As young children, we were told of the people we could always trust in. For me, you were high on the list. I didn't know why, but I did know it was "right". I have never been closer to a family member besides your sister, my mother. The allegations came on strong but I stood by you, even when you were oblivious. Nobody believed your alibies, except me. Trust, right? With time, the accusations grew in number, detail, and support. Addiction, affair, what next? I am trying to love you as I used to but another word comes to mind; manipulation. You feared another lecture so called me and used me to go on more binges. I am caught in fire, blood, fear, and anger. I pray high above that you will fix your wrong but I know you see no wrong. My tears mean nothing; do nothing. What happened to you? How did you get this way? Why did you bring me into it? I hate who you've become. I want you back, not the lying, cheating, sick, monster I've seen. Don't do it for me, for your husband, or even for your children. Do it for you. I want you back, after all. © 2011 Meghan.E |
