Brooke McMinn Poems

Wrapping me in your arms so tight
Holding me through the night
Loving me with all your might
You always know what is right
...

Mother's touch is not sweet and soft
Mother's touch is hard and cruel.
Mother's touch is not caring and thoughtful
Mother's touch is painful and rude.
...

I never got to know you
And because of this I'm sad
Its tragic to think
That I never knew my own Grandad.
...

I get a chill when I see you
A tear runs down my cheek
I'm scared you're going to leave me
I don't want to close my eyes, and go to sleep
...

The drunken lullaby
That he sings
So calming and so sweet
But still it stings.
...

Sometimes I think of all you have done.
Tell me, when I was born, why did you run?
Was Coke more important in your world?
More important then your own little girl?
...

F is for future you will never be in
A is for the anger I have
T is for the trust that is forever gone
H is for the hatred I feel for you
...

Always yelling and criticizing
Only recognizing the bad, never the good.
Harsh words still sting
Long after they are said.
...

They say that you can find comfort
In memories that you have gained
But I never find anything
Except for sorrow and pain.
...
