So...I've been writing this poem for months. I've rewritten it about a million times. For the life of me I can't seem to properly express the emotions of being betrayed by a mother and finally having to let her go. I can feel the pain but I can't seem to get it to show as much as I think it should. If anyone has any advice. Also, I couldn't think of an appropriate title.
Porcelain white skin
I'm your baby, I'm your doll
"Hush now, don't cry
Momma never let's you fall"
Untouched unscathed
Girls are precious, innocent
"Hush now, don't complain
Girls should smile and be content"
Sixteen, don't hurt me
A godly man with a devilish grin
"Crimson stains, so much shame
Marriage will absolve your sin"
Seventeen, washed clean
I'm your baby I'm your doll
"Hush now don't cry,
God will never let you fall"
Porcelain white skin
Bloodstained and bruised
Sealed lips, secrets
Beaten and abused
Doctors frown, ultrasound
It's too late, nothing can be done
Tiny angel, pool of blood
He took away my son
Turn another blind eye
I'm your baby, I'm your doll
Nothing to hold on to
Left alone to fall
Innocence long gone
Tell me that I'm precious now
Can't wash away the scars you made.
Tell me that you love me now
Porcelain white skin
Broken and discarded
Your guidance lead me here
Left me lost and broken hearted
Porcelain white skin
Precious daughter left to die
Hush momma, I forgive you
But it's time to say goodbye
