I Wonder If It's That Simple...

By BethanyBallet

Is it really that simple?
I can't believe he would say such a thing. Nothing is THAT simple.
Especially it. It hurts when it is over. It hurts when they leave. It hurts to see them walk away.
love.
I loved the way she used to smile.
used.
She used to give me a sign of an inside joke...Just us two.
alone.
At night, making plans...for parties...for friends...
together.
We can't leave eachother. What would I do without you Megan? Megan, why are you crying? Megan why are you disappearing?
Megan...?
come back Megan
come home
to me; I'll keep you safe. No more of the "problems" with your Father. I'll share mine. my dad. You can stay with me. We can live in peace and love. I love you Megan.
Don't go.
Don't take her away from me. Please...?
I need her to be happy.
Megan, please don't listen to them.
You don't have to go.
We can talk all night and laugh all day.
lay in the grass.
watch the moon.
It can be perfect like you.
Sure, you're confusing. You say you like pink when you really mean blue.
but who cares?
You should be in your home.
every night.
Go to sleep around the ones who
love
you. And you love.
You, my love, are the reason the Angel's cry
they are so sad to see you away.
Tell me Megan.
Is it really that simple?
Simple to leave, hear lies, and then be contradicted by that
Egotistical
Enfatuational
Narcassistic
Father. of yours. Doesn't want anyone happy.
Remove the mask.
Tell me your heart.
Megan, don't go.
Megan, I love you Megan
Megan, I need you Megan
You're my beloved sister, Megan
and I want you to come back home.
Please, tell me.
Is it really that simple?
To see, sit, watch, cry, love, leave.
Simple.

    Caring... Concern... Personal catastrophe... it all exudes from this write. I won't even begin to seek the tale behind it, because the hurt is evident, but amazing write for one so young. Warm wishes your way... and to Megan as well.

    You have an amazing gift little lady. You have this ability to delve in so deep and rip out the deepest darkest emotions of it all and find a way to turn the ugliest hurts into something beautiful. Even though Megan isnt here, I know she has to be able to feel us loving her. I believe that each time we think of her, write of her she feels a warmth envelope her and she knows...she knows in her heart. You cant sever bonds such as these. Be patient Beth, we are in the final stretch and she WILL be home soon...Tides have turned...finally Great write Bethany!!! You are a true poet. Love you
