Dear Mom

My heart is tattered and torn
you promised to always be here
Yet when I look around
your no where to be found

You took the time to lie to me
and didn't take the time to see
the pain your men put on me
I was so young...you should have known

My heart broke when you left
I didn't know what to do
my heart ache and I felt so low
And my insecurities grew so great

all I wanted was for you to care
9 years later here I am
still waiting for you
to keep that promise you made
so long ago...

I know it wont happen
yet for some odd reason
I want to hope...that one day
you will realize, how much I needed you

you will never know the lonely nights
I spent crying over you...
one day you will tho

Yet I need to say thanks
because of you I am strong
and I want you to know
that through it all I didn't turn out wrong

there were times I wanted to die
and give up on life its self
yet what you put me through
taught me to overcome the worst

so Thanks

"Dear Mom"

Good poem, very angry; I can feel your angst! It reminds me of the lyrics to an older Megadeth song "In my Darkest Hours". Continue writing and great job expressing your emotions in such a poetic mien.
