In the moments you felt alone
Struggling to find peace
I was there to help you see
Wrapping my love around your grief
Whispering, I believe
Wiping tears from your cheeks
Through clouded days
During the darkest nights
Giving you my everything
I was
I did
I have
Caring so much
But you couldn’t see
Perspective outside your needs
Compassion reciprocating
No such thing
Leaving me empty
Ignored completely
Today, I see
Reality
Clarity
I would never be
You would never see
Renewal, my priority
Renew

So beautiful!! It started out so sweet and I actually almost thought it was a mother-child poem until it got later into the poem. Well done, as always!
Thank you so very much ❤ After going back and reading it again, I can see your perspective at how it seems to be mother-child in the beginning, thanks for sharing your thoughts xoxo
You’re welcome! My daughter had a procedure today so I think I was feeling especially maternal…probably why my mind ventured down that road first. You’re welcome! Xoxo
Oh I hope your daughter is ok and recovering from the procedure! I know how stressful and heartbreaking it is to see our babies go through something like that, despite if they are 7 or 37, such a helpless feeling. Sending my thoughts and hugs xoxo
Yeah she is a bit grumpy and wobbly but doing well and things looked good, thank you. I really appreciate that, Taylor! Thanks so much!!
