Just Your Child

Published by Family Friend Poems May 2011 with permission of the Author.

I'm standing in the dark and into the light,
Can't you see me?
I am standing in your sight.
You don't want me,
You don't need me,
I'm just a child.

You just stood on by,
watched him make me cry,
He betrayed me every night,
But to you...I am just a little child.

Inside, he left me black and blue,
Yes, Mommy, he "promised" you!
But did you ever think what he'd do?

You were just a passer by,
Claiming to have no sight,
Walk on in, "I'm sorry," walk on out.
What was that all about?

You left me out in the cold,
I felt so alone.
The betrayal of your trust,
I don't think I can let it go.

Just because....I was your child.
