J. S. Bach - Partita in C moll BWV 997 - Evangelina Mascardi, Liuto bar...

Ma Mere

 

As I sit here reading a book

i  am suddenly reminded of my mother

she sits at the kitchen table reading

wearing thick framed glasses

the sight as a child filled with me sadness

what were those books ?

romantic novels probably

the unhappiness and loneliness of my mother

surrounded her like a soft grey light

i felt i was somehow responsible for her plight

even though nothing was ever said

my father had caused this pain and

his name was never mentioned

i was like a piece of blotting paper

my heart absorbing the pain of her sadness

a trait i have carried  all of my life

if i open my heart to someone

i feel their pain sometimes more intensely

than they do themselves

innocent and beautiful

precious and treasured

not trafficked as sex slaves
