I mourn for the innocence
that to me is lost
Is there no recompenses
for what it has cost?
I mourn for a childhood
not allowed to see
For you have stolen
it away from me
I mourn the friends
you would not allow
Even though I do
have a few somehow
I mourn the time
you took from me
When you made sure
mom I couldn’t see
Now it’s your turn
time’s come to pay
And it may hurt
as I walk away
No longer will you do
things to me you’ve done
I won’t have to mourn
in the new life begun
I know that God
everything does see
And He is blessing
the life ahead of me!
Teresa Marie 9/1/11
Hold your head high, Sara! Don’t let anyone ever take that you from.
I love you more than life itself, Mom
The idea of love I mourn
You took the dream from me
And I am left with scorn
Of what never came to be
What I once thought was born
Between my innocence and thee
Is now shame my neck adorn
When you made it a travesty
Left it to me as foreign
As a continent across the sea
The graveyard I go to mourn
For that’s where love must be!
Teresa Marie 8/27/11
“Don’t call me stupid, don’t ask why I would do this. Tell dad to be strong and make sure the funeral home covers the scars.”
While reading your note I cried
For the pain that you did hide
Every time I asked you lied
And kept all of it inside
Why didn’t you in me confide
I’d have stood by your side
What made you ever decide
It’d be better if you died?
Now you are gone from me
And never again will I see
The chance to set you free
From the bonds of the enemy
That had haunted you endlessly
For today you’ve entered eternity
And left me here crying ceaselessly
Oh why didn’t you come to me?
Now all I can do is pray
Tell you the things I didn’t say
Hope to see you again one day
When this world for me falls away
And ask the Lord not to delay
To save you soul from decay
His great mercy to you display
And that in heaven you will stay!
Teresa Marie 6/22/11
