Saga Poem by Lucifera Santez

Don’t leave me
Oh please don’t
Mother please don’t leave me alone
I am still a baby
Why are you doing this?
Because I was a mistake
Or was it because you never loved daddy
He is gone too you know
Now you will leave me too
Where will I go?
Who will cherish and love me
Despite my plea in my baby cries
You pack your overnight case and go
Leaving me on that hospital bed alone
I am so terrified
Will they send me else away?
Among strangers and strangers
Who won’t know who am i?
And why did you leave me?
In these thoughts
These heinous scraps of my bruised core
Drifts my mind
Occupied I am
That’s why I don’t hear
The sound of oncoming feet
Someone peers at me
Someone who looks like angel
With wavy blonde hair and grey eyes
Someone with so lovely smile
He picks me up
Smiles………………………………..
Tears run down his eyes
He is a boy of thirteen
He hugs me
Swamping me from love of his heart
I feel this in me
Perhaps from the blood we share
The blood
Which runs in his veins like mine?
He is my brother
My brother
I savor the word
For he will love me
For all his days and mine
Unlike you……………………………….
He is my world
My whole being
I am rather too young to understand this
But I know his love comes
From deep niche in his soul
*
Too many years have gone by
I am graduating today
And he is here
My brother
My Demetri
He is here today
Because it’s important to me
He is busy
In acquiring companies
Giving interviews
Flirting with ladies
Proud I am of his accomplishments
Proud when papers run his success story
But yet he comes
Do you know why?
Because he is proud of me
Because unlike you
He loves me
It isn’t debt to him
Or something which forces him to do this
It’s simple as caring for me
As simple as loving me
Surprised aren’t you
Wherever you are
Mother of mine
That I don’t need you
Not now not ever
Because I have him
For my limited mortality………
