Eraser

Stolen from me,

by that nasty ruffian,

her meaningless trinkets,

lined up mocking us,

all your possessions your guns, and your

tools,

sold to people who didn’t know the worth.


Her cantankerous attitude,

hacking away at my lineage.

The domineering woman,

carved her adopted children

first in your stone.

Placing even her dog over

your true children, now an afterthought

still forgotten covered by grass,

as if erasing their existence.


In that heart her place still sits,

taking our gifts as if she is receiving them.

When the menace is finally rid,

I will erase her from your memorium,

Like she failed to do to us.         


The author's comments:

When I was one my grandpa passed away, and I was never able to have a relationship with him. I also was unable to have anything of his, because my grandpa's wife took everything of his and either sold it or gave it away. Because of this I have very strong feelings against her and because I don't talk to her I wrote a poem to express my feelings on the subject.
