As Time Goes By Poem by Shilesha Johnson

days pass...
weeks go by...
then months...
its been 24 months
since i have felt your touch
since iv'e felt close to recieving your love
Days have gone by...
weeks have passed...
then months...
it has been 5 months since we have spoken
since we have talked
and i have fought
back the tears of why that is
why you have my number and haven't called me
and ever since
i was just dismissed
as being your kid
DAys have passed.....
weeks have gone by....
months turned into 1 year....
then 2....
then 3....
then 4......
then 5......
and almost 6
its been 6 years
that i have not been in your care
that you have not been apart of my life
apart of my growing up
and learning wrong from right
being the shoulder i need
when i feel the need to cry
11 months....
6 years...
and 5 months
you do the math, thats alot you've missed
alot to make up
Days pass...
then weeks...
months....
and years.....
and i wait impatiently for you to wake up and decide to make a change
and i wait
i have lost faith
i lost all my faith in you
which is something i told myself to never do
but i have
and im so tired of waiting
so only thing i know i can do from here is to keep on praying
