A Mother's Secret
Maybe somehow somewhere
My truth should have been spoken
Than suffering the pain
Blistering my heart
With words left unspoken
Wounded deep within
Lies so often whispered
Bitterness within your heart
Resentful and truly hostile
The harm you inflicted
To ruin another life
Was purely self centred
Selfish and unkind
People so ready to believe
All they hear but do not see
What rights have they?
To judge before they slay
The innocent in such a way
The day will come when truth is told
Not in vengeance but un-spilled sorrow
The lies of yesterday from poisoned lips
Where bitterness long life lived
Protecting their guilty secret
Your secret lies buried with you
Again I suffer as if cursed
Your truth should have been spoken
Than rot beneath the earth
A family now divided
By your actions ~ and untold words

Thanks Tina had to think twice about writing not certain how it would be
received. There is much truth in this poem many years ago my tears
seemed to fill a bucket the pain inside was really deep yet for some reason
I could never hold any bitterness just hurt and a kind of sadness.
Love and hugs Anne x
Hi Anne, we should always reveal the truth. It will haunt us if we don't.
Hi Joe
Yes I should have spoken and I am one for truth but so many people
would have been hurt. Let's say I kept quite for the sake of others I
have long since realised they would not have done the same for me.
The pain never seems to go away but I was told to write about how
I felt and this would bring me some relief. If there truly is a Heaven
they will know what they inflicted.
Thanks for reading Joe and your lovely comments

Hi Cherie
Truth has to come out somehow and that's what my poems/freestyle
writing does actually this is how it started writing about life then
other bits and pieces came into it, like the child in me - lol
Yes keeping the peace, others who would get hurt yet in the end
some of it does come out. The pain will always be there but now
it does not come like it did years ago when tears just would not
stop. It is strange though how I can write about hurt without feeling
bitterness.
I know someone up there is looking after me and my life has been
saved more than once and for that I will always be thankful, nothing
can replace the life we have been given that in itself is a gift.
Love and Hugs Cherie

Yes! The truth will always surface... great poem!!
Thanks Julie writing about life uncovers so much of what is buried inside
it's a good relief valve.
