“You failed to say” …
that boys could break my heart ~~~ that one day I would fall in love
that I would hurt
that I as your daughter must be careful ~~~ for there are boys who
would toy with my emotions
twist my heart into a knot ~~~ and leave
you should have warned me
that not all boys play fair ~~~ should have let me know
that my gut would ache
that I would fail to sleep fail to eat ~~~ that I would weep with
tears that seemingly had no end
that my voice would scream ~~~ from inside and no one
would hear my pain
I sit looking at the glass ~~~ filled with wine ~~~ tempting
trying to erase ~~~ and understand
why you didn’t tell me ~~~ liquid nectar that helps me ~~~ shut out the world
dilutes my misery ~~~ room swirls ~~~ speech slurred
boys versus wine ~~~the wine has won this day.

A reminder with every Post that I do. Reblogged from Sex, Spirit, Soul Mates and Chocolate….Ivonne’s Journey:
Ramblings From A Mum 
So very sad. It makes it even more bitter-sweet that she’s angry/annoyed at her mother for failing to teach her or let her know of these things. The difficult thing with children/teenagers is that they often won’t listen to parental wisdom, some lessons have to be learned the hard way. Thanks for contributing this week to Picture it & write!

I thank you so very much for allowing me to write and for your feed back, appreciated.
Wow, this made me think! For some reason, all the things my mum warned me about I felt that I had to go out and experience for myself!! I loved that image at the top – did you take it?
Thank you Gab (can I call you Gab?) Yes, unfortunately our mothers didn’t impart the information about the cruelness of love and we had to learn it hard way. Then again, would we have listened? Hell no! The pic.. no not mine it was for a prompt from Picture it and write. They post a photo and you have to write about it, wonderful site, good brain work. You should check it out. 🙂 xx
Sounds interesting – I’ll check it out. As for Gab – try Gabs, that’s what the special people in my life get to call me 😉
Gabs it is then – thank you 😉 x
Nicely done! I like each self-contained story in this piece.
Joe – Welcome I have heard about you on Scriptor Obscura’s site. Thank you so much for visiting and your feed-back – it is so appreciated 🙂
Yes, I would like to know why didn’t someone tell me about these things? I had to learn the hard way from experience…but as you say a nice glass of wine does make it feel better.
Lovely words of poetry.
ivonne
Thank you sweetheart – we all had to learn the hard way it seems and will continue to do so…I guess that’s what makes us toughen up and not fall for the same relationship as the last 🙂 xxx
This is really good. Full of emotion.
Thank you D – appreciated.
Wonderful and emotive and poingant, Jen! 😀
Thank you Di ( what no chookas?) 😉 xx
tis always better when the boys bring the wine… and stay for the love.
Never a truer word or should that be words? spoken my lovely. 🙂 x
My mom insists she did warn me about all that stuff and I just didn’t listen. I know for a fact she failed to tell my how much I would love Pinot Gris!
Ahh yes not many of us did 😦 We all learnt the hard way. I was in fact drinking wine when I read your reply..almost spat it at the monitor with your last line! Thanks for the visit and the comment 🙂
Hope it was some cheap red! ♥
your words are so true. unfortunately, some moms do tend to miss out on that one tiny detail 🙂 such is why i shall make it a point to tell my daughter someday , if i have one. very sad but i quite enjoyed reading this. 🙂
Thank you KZ for visiting and commenting, nice to see you back again. Yes indeed it is something mums do need to tell their daughters and sons as well I guess. Whether they will listen is another thing entirely. 🙂 x
Anne – white for a change – but regardless I enjoyed your line …hmm takes another mouthful 🙂
Oh god, I feel you wrote this one for a few of us! Happy Valentines Day….xxxxxxx
Hmm but which one I wonder …. 🙂 Happy VD to you too darling. xxx
