Lesson Relearned – sonnet
Blue china broken on the floor
its’ tiny pieces scattered cost
Symbolic price for all love lost
as I watch you walk out the door
and leave behind a shattered heart
of broken dreams of what you did
allowed your mother’s heart be shredded
just take your things and quickly part.
And for once again I shall heal
replace old bandage which came loose
deceit and lies brought me to kneel
the heartache of tears runs profuse
Away you run, your deeds concealed
spin your tales of secret misuse.

The ‘like’ is for your sonneteering skill rather than the story, which is awfully sad.
Lessons relearned are sad. Hopes are dashed. Walls are built. Truth can be a messy ordeal. Thanks for hanging in there Viv.
Oh this is beautifully and painfully written. The pain of motherhood…….but it is wonderful to see you posting again. I’ve missed you.
I have missed writing. I feel an out pouring coming on. I love and miss you too Lady
i know the feeling :( stay strong…this is the reason we have to keep our distance from our kid’s cause we don’t need to know what thay r up 2 for our own sake!
I love sonnets.but know how difficult they may be to write.loved how you used the precision of the form to rein in the intense pain.
Thank you Abin for taking the time to read and comment.
