°°°A Thousand Words°°°

Contributed by OreO on Wednesday, 27th November 2002 @ 02:00:00 AM in AEST
Topic: SadPoetry



One day Our mom was working
Her husband came to pick her up
My sis was in the car
Asking questions, so abrupt

Our mom was very happy
She surely had it all
The dream of every woman
To be happy most of all

My sis she asked her certain things
Like when can we go see aunt Hilda?
My mother stopped to glare and said
Dear who? ...Who is aunt Hilda?

She looked over at her husband
She gave him a hard nudge
For he had fallen deeply in love
With some girl from the elks club

Mom took her cigarette
She put it out right on his hand
She called him real bad names
And she got out of the car and ran

She ran straight to the bus stop
Where she made her journey home
To pack up all her things
To go to a place nobody knows

She took all of her children
She tried to do her best
But she was to poor to feed them
So she gave them back to rest

She intended on coming back for them
And back indeed she went
But he had already gotten custody
So alone my mom's life spent

I know Hilda was mean to them
My sisters and my brother
My sister's lived their own lives
Over dose of pills grabbed my brother

My family all survived this
A long time my mom hated men
But now it's all in the past
Not to be relived again

Hilda's passed away now
My mom is happy where she is
But he sits blind, crippled,and alone
This is what cheating gets

While Reading some of your poetry i've noticed alot of it is about family and how everyday decisions affect the stature of a family in dramatic ways. Somehow you have a way of capturing the essence of tragedy and turn something that wouldn't be spoken of and turning it into something i could read. thank you. you keep writing and i'll keep reading

A sad story, OreO. I don't feel I have the authority to say "He deserved what he got". Betrayal is cruel, in many ways, and best avoided. This is a complex issue you've addressed well here.
