Thirteen
A boy wants
His
Father
Needs.
Maybe.

I'm not rejected,
Just left.
An unfortunate
Umbrella.

While the deified
Sowed and reaped.

He's not dead.
Just gone,
As I mourn
At his bedside.
Lie down
to bathe in
Grief.

Then rise
Leaving black Lilies
On his pillow.

Yes it is very sad but life is a mosaic of sadness and happiness, and I like to use all the bits of broken glass...

I hope I don't make you sad with it though.

*hugs*

Thank you Karajarina.

I'll share a little.

My son went to live with his father when he was 13. I'm not very good at expressing how I feel about it - but poetry helps.

*hugs*

A powerful heartfelt poem.
I like the way you have used the images such as 'An unfortunate
Umbrella' - 'the deified' and structured your words.
Thank you

I believe a boy who goes through those years without a father spends the rest of his life looking for one ... so maybe for the best. He'll come back.
