I Messed Up

Contributed by Rose on Thursday, 25th July 2002 @ 11:14:07 AM in AEST
Topic: MiscPoems

I sent a letter to my twin nephews last week
I wasn’t allowed to see them, since I left 3yrs. ago
I didn’t have time to explain, nor family havoc I seek
Now they are of age, and graduated, I asked them to go
Give me a chance to be their Aunt again
I realized they were never told of what I was told
So why should I start a family war, still be out in the cold?
It wouldn’t be remembered, by those who said this!
For I would look like a liar, so I will do what I can
To just accept their answer, my dear heart does miss
I should have tried harder, despite not being allowed
Instead of my broken heart, not being given this chance
Benjamin and Eric, you gave your answer, it hurts so loud
I messed up, for my love wasn’t strong enough
Although you said you would always remember me
All I had done for you, now, my heart is drained, by that sharp lance
I know your moving on in your lives, doing all the young adult stuff
I guess I know in my heart I had done my closure, this is done, painfully
For you decided to listen of that from the past
Saying I didn’t want to be a part of this family
IF you only knew all I wanted to share with you both, to make it last
To give my love, despite not being apart of your Uncle Kerry
I just know when I die, my heart and soul are clear and no secrets
When the time comes, either for you, or me, God sees thru those leaflets
I hope a day will arrive, when maybe you will change your mind
When maybe those prior thoughts open up to see I did try
Sorry I am only a statistic in time, not worth a true good find
To two beautiful nephews, I lost for sure, Please forgive me, while I cry…

Such a deep and poignant poem Amber. I am sure they will forgive you.
