Part Two: Daughter

Author’s Note:  The following entry is from my deviantART account, aikouikirisu.

Really it is the same as the previous entry except this is from the daughter’s point of view. My friend isn’t really the poetic type which is why I wrote them in her honor. So thank you for reading.

 

The same applies with the “friend” word. She is me.

++++++++++++++++

To you I’m nothing
Short of a failure
In your life
To another
I am great

Here I am
Standing before you
But with flaws
That mark me
As a fragile human,
A woman of no strength,
No hope

I hide behind
Many masks
That hide my pain
So well that all
But my love can’t see

You are blind
To my tears
And deaf
To my cries
Like it matters
Any longer

All the while I wonder
If you actually can see something
In me
Or do you only see the image
Your mind has created
Of me, Mother?

Part One: Mother

Author’s note:  I had posted it in deviantART and had decided why not post it in here. I know know of one or two people who will highly disagree with this poem along with its sequel, but at the time this was what I was feeling.

If this poem seems crappy… I apologize because I wrote it in a minute or two this morning of 8/11/2008 at 6 am. I know this poem sounds rather emo. Let tell you the person I refer to in this tells me about her life many of times and honestly I wish her the best to graduate college and escape the clutches of her failure in life. Or should I say believed failure in life? Yes that sounds more right than the other.

In the honor of my friend.

You and I both know that “my friend” is not really my friend…that it is really me.  You can comment if you like, but it won’t change the reality of this situation.

+++++++++++++++

Disappointment
A Failure
That is all you will
Ever be in this life

You will fail
And tumble down
Below all
Never rising above the rest

Trivial
Non-essential
You will remain, my fair child
Or should I say not mine
For how big of a disappointment
You are

Shall I refer to you as failure
Or an error in life
I couldn’t possibly refer to you
With any ownership
Embarrassment
Far too high

Who needs you…
You failure of a daughter?

Good Night

 

Good night, sleep tight

Sleep well for me tonight

Do not fear, my love

Because I’ll be here when you wake

Humming to you the sweetest melody

 

I lie awake

For hours till dawn

Watching you sleep

In the light of the moon

 

I whisper in his ear

Do not worry you are safe

From them

And I swear to you

I won’t hurt you like them

 

I move my gaze

Toward the stars up above

Asking them

How could they let you get hurt ?

Why would anyone would want to hurt

An angel so sweet, so kind

So gentle and tender

 

I would love to

Wake up to you every morning

In your arms

Looking up at your smiling face

That would brighten up the day

I have yet to face

 

Good night, sleep tight

Sleep well for me tonight

Just dream sweet dreams for me

As I watch you sleep

Do not fear, my fallen angel

Because I’ll be here when you wake

Humming to you the sweetest melody

Look for me by Moonlight

 

 

The sun has gone to rest

The night has just began

Moon, come out of hiding

And shine your light bright

Please don’t sleep yet, my love

 

Moonlit path

A guide for you

To find your way to me

In the starry night

 

Come to me at midnight

Come out to play, my angel

I’ll be standing here, alone

In the moonlit night, waiting

Calling to you, calling your name

I must leave by early light

 

A new dawn arising

With the sun coming

I cannot stay any longer

 

Now that our night is done

I want you to live today for us

I’ll return again by night

Don’t forget your way to me

 

Shining halo above us

Look for me by moonlight

Watch me dance with the shadows of the night

I’ll come for you by twilight

While the moon will be your guide

As you come for me
