Why Won't You Come A poem by Laja Liwska
“Why won't you come to me
Why am I left so empty
The desperate cries my soul makes out for you
Echo on plush velvety barren walls
I crave to hold you in my arms
To peer into your sweet little eyes
I have made ready for you my love
I have been battling for you
Slaying demons passed down on high
From generations of abuse and neglect
Breaking chains and breaking cycles
For you
Why won't you come
I have mothered myself
I have mothered my own mother
I have spent my life bartering with the moon
But she keeps me in her time
But why should she be so full
When I am left so empty.”
