PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I’m sorry I’ve not been here in such a long time,

I’ll be honest - it isn’t often that I find you in my mind,

When you were here, we didn’t get along,

The disappointment in your eyes,

It told me enough - we were just bloodlines.

No more than a few words had we ever exchanged,

When you were gone - I’d been left unchanged,

I cried - but not for long - I’ve cried worse for lesser things,

But now I’m thinking about you and the guidance you’d bring.

You’d probably tell me right now that I’ve let the family down,

Of course you’d love Joseph - but you’d still frown

When you found out ‘what the fuck Susie’s done now’…

But you’ve been in my shoes too - and I need a sign now.

Please let me know she’s safe, she’s in your care,

You never got to meet Joseph - what colour is her hair?

Does she have my eyes or does she look like him?

Is she a little angel in Heaven or an angel of sin?

Are your Angels playing with my Angel too?

Does she speak English or Italian like you?

Can you give her a comforting cuddle from me?

Can you tell her I wanted her to be all she could be?

That I couldn’t find a way for her to stay,

That I’m missing her and all the games we’d play.

That I never drank the once when she was on Earth,

That I remember her heartbeat on the sofa with her

Big brother and me fast asleep happily,

That I’ll always love her - that her mother is me.

If the other month was you - then please, forgive me for being afraid,

Tell her she’s been with me every time that I’ve prayed,

That there’s nothing I wouldn’t give to hold her in my arms,

I’m asking you now - I won’t be alarmed,

I need to know she’s okay,

Please send me a sign - smash a mirror,

Send a shiver

Down my spine;

Let me know she’s happy and safe,

That she’s sleeping with you,

That one day I’ll hold her and stroke her hair, too.

Send a butterfly,

Something poetic,

Leave a message in bathroom steam,

It’s hard for a sceptic but it’s easy to dream,

Type something in Word miraculously,

An orb of light only we can see;

Or just send a shiver

Down my spine;

And in time I’ll know that she’s fine.

Please love her for me

and give me a sign?
