After long years waiting,
the few strands of hope
I severed.
It wasn't easy,
Had I used a sharper blade
I didn't want to,I couldn't let go then.
Each year, I mourn ,
gliding the blunt tip
against rough twisty rope
Till it finally snapped
I'm finally free from the past,
my thoughts,my emotions & hoping.
Three weeks ago, they came back
They said they had missed me
Oh,but I couldn't feel the same
Family are forever,
They awaited my return
But time changes everything
I'm no longer the girl
they used to know
Should we meet one day,
I hope we meet as strangers and nothing more
Maybe then,I could forgive and forget Maybe then,we could start anew
But never the family we were once before
this is very painful to write ,
As I said, bleeding from the heart.However,kinship is hard to expunge ,not when the blood binds us as we live.
