A girl at school wrote this about her mother, and it hit me hard... I just wish I could tell her.

Holding this crumpled picture between my two thumbs, seeing your beautiful smile, your white lace gloves.

Picture Perfect Memory.

Fifteen years later, and things aren't so great, a reflection in the mirror flows great tears of hate.

Sheer unhappiness with what you've become, blaming your children for what you have done.

Angry words I HATE YOU only add to the madness, Friday night, 11:30, and I don't know where my dad is.

Jump into my sea of tears, open your mouth and drink in my fears.

Act like a mother, for once, I beg you, eat something please, I wish I could save you.

You're wasting away, but please let me eat, don't make me suffer for your self-defeat.

I miss that smile, the one from the photo, I no longer have that angel to go to.

I ripped up your picture in a fit of rage, my precious keepsake of you crumbling from age.

We may have grown apart from pain and misery, but I swear that you will always be beautiful... if not to others, at least to me.

You need to leave 3 links or 3 names of people you left feedback to or this will get closed/deleted...and you should have just posted both things in just one post...

But this was pretty emotional piece i thought....i felt the emotion, kind of more of poetic piece i think....but it was a good read, i felt this piece...lines were kinda long due to structure but it could be fixed but other than that it was pretty good read....keep at it.

very nice. i enjoyed reading it. i really like the meaning it had. and yea^ more
of a poem but nicely stated. i enjoy ballads and this had some talent.
the flow was great and so was the vocab. somethings to think about.
nicely work.

peace

ps. leave some feedback on my "love at first site: verse 2" thread please
