Refuge

This poem is about my parents recent separation. My mom and I were best friends growing up and she was always there, but because of my dad she moved away at the beginning of this year.

You were my refuge

Sworn by white satin blankets

Covered in sleepy eyes

And cartoon night lights

Dressing me in homemade costumes

And playing where the sidewalk scratched

Where dessert seemed like a present

And what I wore never matched

You held me close

And embraced every trust 

Such breakable, delicate hugs

But so full of a mothers love

But now the sheets are torn

And the promises amiss

All the time we spent together

Has now come to this

The fire of your love for me

Wasn't enough to make you stay

Your 25 year bond, broken--

548 miles away

And for the first time in 18 years

There's no presents for you this Christmas

But the worst part of it all might be
You won't even come home for me

Author's Note

I swear it hurts more everyday not being able to see her.

Well done! Very sad yet compelling.

This made me tear up. So sweet yet so sad. She's probably just as confused as you are!
