It is now your birthday
And you are growing old
But I am waiting for my own day
When I hear your body's cold
I will celebrate your passing
But I will not honor your birth
And you are the one to blame
For your own great lack of worth
Some may find me calloused
And evil beyond reproach
But they don't know how it was
To be only three years old
And trapped inside your house
Having to play your games
I will never forget that nightmare
And I will never be the same
It isn't as easy as I want
To try and forget that fear
But you had your share of my life
You darkened enough of my years
So yes, it is your birthday
But you will not hear from me
I am too busy living
And learning to be free.

He's gone now. It didn't give me the joy I thought it would.

Jane, You write for you and yet for us all. Your words relate to so many, yet are so personal to you. I dont know how you do it, but it is beautiful and We LOVE You. -Heather-

"I am too busy living and learning to be free" Oh so true, I've even forgotten when my parents birthdays are, mental block I guess.

it's sad even with the freed ending. you painted a sort of sadness on this one. a sadness that will make me think for a while.

*makes a sad face* nice write jane... it's pain, sometimes that needs a release in words that speak more to grief than the stars... the past is and will always be, look to the stars, though, your future they see

Oh Cre! I loved this. You've held onto the wonderful texture and feeling that is enfused into all of your work...and though this peice seems just as personal as every bit of your other poems...it is more straightforward...More direct "Jane". I loved it.~D

"But you had your share of my life" - that is true with many people, it is indeed far too short a time we have to allow someone to steal our precious days from us.

A distrubing bit of writing that just sits back and taps at a corner of the subconscious, waiting to seep in on some level, I liked this, wonderful! ~ mw

another well written piece, darling... there are some people who just don't deserve a minute of your life. to know that and seperate yourself from them is a Good Thing.

Jane, that was a great write as usual. Sad story behind the scenes from what I can tell. It's hard to live life knowing that there is that one person you know you should be on good terms with, but you can't. Great write.

Thank you, you've finally expressed how I feel about most of humankind, in words I could not think of.
