Less Like Strangers

Contributed by Diatribe on Monday, 15th November 2004 @ 04:47:24 PM in AEST
Topic: ApologyPoetry

I remember all the times
That I would drown out my nights
With one too many drinks
And I’m sorry for all the things I did
And said to you
I owe my life to the both of you
The patience you’ve kept
And passed down to me
Gives me the strength
To deal with almost anything
And I’d deliver a bloody fist
To those who would destroy it
The love you’ve given me
Is a perfect example of unconditional
And I’ve often failed to return the favor.
For some reason I’ve never been able
To open myself up to you
And for that I blame myself…
Mother and I would sit and watch the rain
Pour down from a humid Florida sky
And it’s those rare days that I cherish most
And father; your ability to make the best of everything
Is a gift I’ll forever thank you for
Every waking moment
I wish you were less like strangers
And I know that this is somehow
A mistake that I have made
For some reason I’ve pushed myself
Away from you
And this is hard for me to change
If only I could reverse time
If I could somehow bridge this gap
If this were easy for me
I wouldn’t bother writing this
And I’d tell you how I feel face to face
But I’m sorry that I’m weak
So I wrote this for you.

Absolutely beautiful. I feel exactly the same way, only you were able to put it into words better than I ever could. Amazing!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
