Abandonment Poems
Suspended In Thin Air
by Frangipani Rhett
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

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,

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

Kill Me, Please.
by Frangipani Rhett
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.

Nothing Wilts Faster Than a Flower in Snow
by Filip Hammarström
Nothing wilts faster than a flower in snow
No matter how much you love it, cold stiffens its growth
See, a flower thats covered by droplets of ice
Is mistaken for beauty and it comes with a price
Where no sun reaches leaves to fill it with warmth
A flower will struggle to maintain its form
Remember that rose that I gave you before
It was a piece of my heart and it left me still sore

Late
by David Hoover
Your love was all I wanted.
Your approval.
To hear “ Im proud of you son “
To be raised by you.
I wanted to come home and run to your arms.
And to work in the garage with you.
I wanted you to teach me to drive my first car.
And how to shave.
And help me with homework at the kitchen table.
For so long I dreamed of having that.
