Wounded soul

Sad and alone 

You are a wounded child

Always wondering why

You struggle in the darkest hours 

You fight the lonely night to make it through

Until the daylight comes to light the shadows

You need to see no one is hiding there any longer

God should have held you more closely

You suffered the lies and indignities of your mothers making

Her diseased mothers milk fed to you, poisonous and destructive

It shattered your childish mind

Sitting in your crib alone and in the darkness

You were left there and subjected to the wicked laughter and....

haunting voices of abusers and users

Demons speaking muted words of fear and death and lies

That madness swept you away upon the waves of insanity

The horrors of your childhood are there behind your eyes 

I think of you and I am overwhelmed 

My heart caught between hope and sorrow

A child screams for relief inside your fragile heart

The peace and silence that you seek elude your withered mind

If anyone ever loved you, you never felt the truth of it

I know this myself, oh how I desperately tried!

It was only the briefest moment of your life, covered in love

Your broken heart deceived you then and tore your love away

Your mother grabbed you up for herself and took what she wanted from you

Now loss and anger grind out misery upon your tortured soul 

You have been held in children’s hearts 

As near as God to them

You walked away....not able to look back

Pain and fear devoured you..... so you are no beloved mother 

There you are with the needle 

Hoping to drive away any feeling, trying to immitate death

Taunting the beast with a once beautiful feast

Desparately wanting to be free of this world

It's always been sorrow, pain and misery....for you

Your mind falters and you are alone and flailing in the darkness 

Tired and weary of this life 

You squeeze your eyes tightly closed against the agony of it

You wish desperately for the end to come

Could God not see your soul's despair?

Save you all the misery? 

Save you all of the pain with His gift of Grace?

He ignored my prayers and left me haunted by the memories we shared

The good and the bad

The mind numbing illnesses that pull at you ceaselessly....

Twisting your intentions into sad malicious needs

Depression, Schizophrenia  a damaged heart and ruined spirit

Self loathing and self hate are your legacy

Your selfish mother like a bitch dog giving birth to ruination and sorrow

She gave you nothing to hold in your heart but loss, grief and anguish

The truamas that you bring upon yourself destroy you 

These things devour your lost spirit, soul and love

The worst of inhumanity holds you where you are

I see you thrashing there upon that dark and unyielding whipping post.... 

You fight against your bonds wanting to be free

If only I could have helped you then....God knows I did my best

The only one who can set you free now is....

That sad wounded child who is always wondering why

I have soothed your heart as best I could

I kept our daughters safe from you and loved them with all that I have inside of me

They are beautiful, wonderful and cherished

My heart breaks for you and after all these years I cry

Whenever you cross my mind
