why are you leaving me?
Am I not to your liking
Is something wrong with me?
I'm part of you, too
So please don't walk away
I'll be lonely without you
what about you?
Can't you hear my begging
This painful goodbye won't you undo?
I'm holding back my sobs
I clutch a hand against my chest
as my heart painfully throbs
Please hold me and love me
At least for a while
stay right beside me
It may be something that I've done
But please give me this moment
to remember you by when you're both gone
Mommy, Daddy, stay right beside me

Thank you! :)
Beautiful and melancholic too I think.
Thank you :) I saw a picture of a sad child while I was switching tabs. I remembered an adoption article I once wrote and so this was born.
Very touching! Thank you for sharing your writing.
Thank you! You're always supporting me <3
A very emotional write for me. Thank you for sharing this part of you.

Parent-child love and relationships are some of the most powerful emotions in the universe. Your powerful poem makes my insides twist...

You told me you entered but I totally l spaced out and forgot to look. So happy you entered this round after all. The poem is both heart warming and bittersweet. Top quality! :D
Thanks for the morale boost :) It's fine. I know you've been pre-occupied with a lot of things.
I'm a poet wanna be as well lol, make sure to follow me
Sounds cool. Here's to us succeeding someday :)
your memories will always be a part of you, family is a bond that can never be broken. <3
a worthy submission, :)
Thank you! :)
It really struck a chord, made me contemplate how lucky I am.
Aww :') yeah. And I'm glad you're as lucky
Beautiful. Keep this kind of stuff coming, we all need it.
Haha I will try :) thank you
Sad, but not depressing. Kids always feel so deeply and always seem so afraid of losing their parent's love.
When I taught pre-primary age it was the biggest fear of every kid in the room!
I think it's because we're genetically programmed to bond with our parents. It's das to see kids be scared of being abandoned but at least in school, it's only for a few hours. I can't imagine how kids feel when they get put up for adoption. Thanks for the comment :)
