Abandonment

From Counterfeit Freedom by Roland F. Stoecker Jr (author's profile)

Transcription

-Abandonment-

I hear my children laughing and playing in the silence
I taste their tears upon strangers lips
I dream of all the lost moments
I should have shared with them.
As these wrinkles spread across this flesh
I grow more ashamed of my past.
The hell I suffer is self-induced
But my children have suffered because of me.

Roland 8/25/12
