"Mama, I can't just leave Abir." I admitted, telling her exactly why I couldn't do this. Not only would she be snatching me away from my family and friends but she was taking me away from the person I'd loved for five going on six years. I couldn't just walk away from him. "Baby.." She trailed off, sighing deeply. "I know you love Abir." She stood to her feet to stop packing for a moment and pulled me into her. "But I promise you, there will be other boys. Right now you have to do what's best for you and that's coming with your daddy and I to give you a better life." "Better life for who? You?!" I screamed out, becoming even more angry at her choice of words. As if my feelings were robotic and I could just turn them on and off for any and every person. "My feelings just don't matter to y'all at all, huh?" I asked, crying harder than before now. "Speak to your mother with some respect, Giselle." My father spat to me and I shook my head, watching as they stood there looking at me like some dumb teenager. This wasn't puppy love for me. I didn't spend 5 years building something, just to walk away from it for their dreams. I couldn't do it. Sinner. Book #1

Highest Rank #32 in Poetry. ~~~~ Have you ever felt drifting away from someone close? Have you ever hurt someone delibrately who was the most important part of your life? Perhaps your other half? Did you ever lie to them and hid some important things from them for their own benefit but when they found out they felt betrayed whereas you did everything for their own good? Have you repented way more than you should have and felt guilty as hell? I know you have, in fact everyone has after all this is Life and things like these have to happen someday with everyone. So here are some poems that I wrote when I went through these same situations. I hope you read it and can relate to it.
