So... I have not been active for a while. But now it's Mother Day! Is it bad that I'm posting an angsty poem for Mother's Day? Yeah, it is. Okay. So... this is a little acrostic for Esperanza and Leo Valdez from the Heroes of Olympus series. Hope you like.

Why did the Fates
Have to be so cruel
You don't deserve this
Demigods… They always have to suffer.. But yet
I still hoped to shelter you from those evils. You were my darling, my life. You
Don't deserve to have this painful life.
You were so cute as a child
Oh, i loved you so… But I knew I had to let you go.
Under all the pain was love.
Have you truly lost me? I think not. The ones we love will
Always stay in our hearts. And I loved you so
Very much.
Except we had to part…. Fate is cruel, isn't it?
Truly we could've been happy if
Only she hadn't made me leave you
But now… you are the hero. And you can never
Escape your fate.
To be a demigod… to have
Had you with a god… I doomed you, mijo. I doomed you to a fate you did not deserve.
Excuses… I have none, but I am so, so very sorry
Here I'm just crying at seeing you so
Exposed, so afraid, but yet so very brave
Raise you up so very far, my
Oh so brave darling mijo
