Hard Decision Poem by Brenda Urka

I left my life, walked away, ,
In search of a brighter day.
Everyday my tears they flow.
A choice to let my old life go.
No one to understand my pain,
Ripping my flesh, my blood it stains.
In the distance, hear his cries,
Listen closely, roll my eyes.
Echos are of my inner grief,
Day by day with no relief.
Ringing loud, come home he cries,
I can't I scream, please realize.
The hurt runs deep, just let me go,
Won't turn around, he has to know.
Empty soul, a person lost,
Understand all I have lost.
