Absent

Silver smoke blurring your vision Noisy TV distracting your mind Shallow books keeping you busy Detached, isolated, standing apart Unable to forgive or forget the past Bitterness poisoning your feelings Incapable of showing love Absent from life, inaccessible Unaware of your greatness Master of pain and resent Forever a victim you remain Weeping past events   Detesting life all the way   For what you will never repent Master of disguise Never showing feelings Always wearing your iron mask Books and TV help you forget the life you hate Smoking keeps your monsters away Always longing for your deserting mum For you always felt “not good enough” Constantly grieving the only man you ever loved For he was killed on your wedding day Forever resenting the unwanted child For whom you married the wrong guy Master of revenge An eye for an eye   Always haunted by the past The world has to endure your pain No matter what Motherhood couldn’t mend your shattered heart For you stayed loyal to your acrimony Eternal victim of your bitterness Afraid of abandonment, deserting everybody
