It Is You....

I have pain in my life
that won’t go away.
I don’t sleep at night
and cry during the day.
No hours of talking
can ease what I feel.
I just keep pretending
this hurt isn’t real.
I can’t take a tablet to
make it feel good,
I think of it always
yet know that I should,
try hard to forget
why I feel as I do,
but that never happens
My pain…it is you.
When someone you love
and have loved all her days.
Decided she wanted to
go separate ways.
Yet no words were spoken
to tell me quite why,
she left all her family
without a goodbye.
She moves round the country
and follows her man.
she left her four children
to fend best they can.
For three years to date
she has not tried to say
a single word to them
Ignored their birthdays.
The youngest was just 6 years old
and now nine,
he acts like a normal kid,
says that he’s fine.
But I’ve seen him cry
At times when he’ll see,
a photo of her
stirs his young memory.
Her kids will be fine
I will fill them with love
but I can’t lose their memories
of times they think of.
When she used to hug them
and kiss them good night,
and tell them that everything
would be all right,
they know now she lied
it’s her man she loves now,
and they are her past
she’s forgotten somehow..
When a mum walks away
from the lives of her babes,
I hope that she’s found
Just the life that she craves.
These young kids have lost her
What else can I do?
Their pain we all share
And that pain ….it is you.

I have seen how hard this has been for you and the kids..I hope it helps putting it in print. You do a great job with them and their Dad but she has been brainwashed by the guy and made to see her life as something that it never was..she has been made to forget the love people had for her which is why he has alienated her from everyone who ever loved her, parents, grandparents, siblings, nephews and her own kids.. she totally now has only him and thats how he intends it...I know how sad you are but know also how great you have been for everyone despite your own heartbreak. Love you Lodi xxx
This truly Is a heart felt poem written with so much feeling Oh so sad but beautifully written
Thank you Johnny..yes it's a sad but true story..Thank you so much for reading and your kind words. Lodigiana xx
Oh Lodi,
How sad! Beautifully told, though, and I hope getting the pain out gives you some comfort. You're a wonderful person, and your grankids(including this adopted one) are so lucky to have you!! Sorry for your pain.
Love,
Matthew.
Thanks so much my honorary, yes it does feel a little better to talk about it. I did write a poem a while back which explains in detail what has happened to her ..it's called 'Gaslighting..means control' but life still has to go on and being on Cosmo is a great distraction plus of course all the wonderful people on here ..just like my lovely!

Thank you, Grammy! You're so sweet, and I so agree, I've met some truly wonderful people on here(one being you!), that really encourage you and make you feel good about yourself.
I'm truly honored to be your honorary!
Love,
Matthew.
