Missing You Can't Go On

Published: February 2006

Where have you gone?
My heart beats faster and faster every time I say your name.
Did you ever love me?
Do you love me now?
I think of you day in and day out, and
Yet you are so far away.
I don't know what to think anymore.
Once I believed in my heart you were someone I could love forever.
I can't love you anymore.
The pain is so deep
That every time I think of you,
My heart is stabbed once again.
It feels like thousands upon thousands of knives stabbing me in the heart.
I can't go on like this anymore.
I can't go on missing you so much that is jeopardizes my happiness.
I want to run and be free from all the hurt you have caused me.
This is my last and final goodbye to the person I thought I could love for the rest of my life.
I am sorry.
But missing you can't go on.
Goodbye, Mommy.

I know the pain you must feel to be abandoned by our family. I'm still only a kid, and I'm probably not supposed to be doing this, but when I read that poem, I felt the pain. I was also abandoned by my mother and father, and now my sister and I live in a different house with different parents that will soon adopt us. My sister had moved on, but I can't. I still feel the pain of being stabbed in the heart when I think of my old family. But there is a way to move on from our past and think of the good things ahead of you. I made a mistake of thinking I should take myself out of this world, and the only thing that stopped me was my sister. I still think of the day I could have been free out of this horrible, painful life, but to this day, I still feel the pain of my parents, but you can move on from the horrible past and think of the future. It's not the end of your life.
