A twisted poem about boy being left to his own devices by his birth parents. |
-Looking Back At Me- by Keaton Foster Mother Father Strangers True deniers I have seen you And I know you In my dreams Nightmares really I was there Certainly young But well aware You created me Only to Abandon me But before you left Forever walking away You stopped Maybe it was doubt Maybe it was guilt Maybe it was vanity Or all the above I’m not really sure Never have I been In that moment I saw you Catching a glimpse of you Looking back at me I honestly believed That in that final instant Clarity filled your head Pouring from your heart You wanted to turn back To make your mistake right You wanted me as your child As your one And only gift from God You both looked at me Right into my very soul And saw something Deeper of yourself At least that is What I had hoped In my dreams Nightmares really I can see into your eyes Knowing that you were Making one final decision With regard to my fate Understanding either way They’d be no turning back Quickly you made it You decided what to do You turned from me And walked away Never again Would I see Your young faces It would be decades A lifetime alone Before I found you again Before I saw your eyes Before I again looked inside Both of you near death As I stood before you Almost as if you were holding on Waiting for me to come And ask you why But once I found you Once I was face to face Never did I ask You tried to tell me But I refused to hear it So badly you wanted To lead me down the path But I just wouldn’t move The answer as to why To me mattered not I knew the answer All along I saw it in your eyes On the day that you decided To turn your back on me Leaving me to be alone As I have always been I made a point to forgive you It was what I was sure people do And shortly after that I was informed of your deaths Maybe you found peace Then again maybe you didn’t Certainly I could care less I stood over your caskets And confessed to myself That I had no regrets And for you I’m sure that was never the case To live with what was done Must have been impossible Looking back at me… Looking Back At Me Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2015. |
