Abandonment Poems
smiling back at the clouds
by Bogdan Dragos
at least the clouds are
smiling back
they have faces and
souls
and they stare back from their
blue canvas,
down on his dirty, snot-smeared face
It’s a warm

Suspended In Thin Air
by Frangipani Retrograde
If you ain't got family
Damn (then?) you don't have anything
There's nobody home
But they're there just the same
Ghosts with eyes you can't see
Watching from the corners like creeps
It's so scary and it's shameful I wish I had a family who wanted me
Home, I just want to be home

Karma
by Emory Johnson
When feelings blow out of proportion
Because there is no healing potion
For all the excitement
turned into abandonment
Because wet tissues
Turn into trust issues
And theres not enough clothes
To cover my body made of walls
That I should have covered myself from the start
The only thing I can blame is my own heart
......
For the Love of My Father
by Samuel Cody
There's always pain in the music of the night
It summons all my broken dreams to come dance about my mind,
And in their fractured shadows, I contemplate your plight
Yet in that frantic jig, no answers can I find.
Nothing I consider can justify your bitter flight,
When by all your wretched flaws you were confined
All my strength of will cannot manifest my dreams that we'd reunite.
Were you scared of yourself, or this child you left behind?
My heart bleeds with tormented hate, as I sit beneath the midnight sun
......
Kill Me, Please.
by Frangipani Retrograde
I wrote some words
From the deepest of my soul
Wrote them on my right knee
Should I stay or should I go
I've had showers and
I've changed my clothes
But I keep them where you can't see
Let me die. Kill me, please.

Somewhere in the garden
by Author Reinvented
Somewhere in the garden,
There's a statue of me and you,
Coated in gold and made out of clay,
And they'll honour it and love it,
They'll covet it and want it,
Right up until they throw it away,
Till the gold has all been stolen,
The clay is cracked and broken,
