Janet Chand – Soft Abandonment

Where are you my darling child?
My heart bleeds through soft abandonment .
No harsh words have stormed my mind.
Just soft abandonment
Of the loneliness kind.
Visits have cease,
Calls and messages too!
What have I done
To upset you!
You’ve got a lot on..
You’re busy….I know!
The recurring answer I get each time I ask.
Soft abandonment still takes me to task.
Yet I still defend the lack of contact
As I try to reason the lack of your care.
I pray that one day I will open the door,
And some day you’ll be standing there.
Soft abandonment
Slowly strangles ties.
Velvet coated abuse
Hear the heartfelt sighs.
