Oh, not my child

you have given me,

your anger

your tears

your angst

your resistance

your resentment

your walls

I have taken,

your abuse

your blame

your sarcasm

your meanness

your coldness

your rejection

but the armor

around my heart

melted the day

i saw the hole

in yours,

left by the one

who didn’t 

deserve you

we have

a bond

you and i 

in our woundedness,

would that we 

heal one another

one day

with love,

i pray
