41. Never There
You say you love me, you say you care
And yet, you're never there.
I remember you yelling, screaming, abusing
You say you love me, you say you care
And yet, you're never there.
I remember you yelling, screaming, abusing

Dear Mom,
Have you forgotten?
Sitting, waiting, hoping

Please don't shut me in
Don't hide me from the treasures buried
deep within the world,
Don't bring me down with destruction
When I was a young girl,
My mother gave me
A red pair of shoes.
They'd been hers, her mother's
The times we had,
the times we shared
were the best time
when everyone cared.
Dear mother of mine
Was I ever worth your time?
My fragile heart yearns for your unconditional love
A feeling that I'm deprived of
Why can't you love me and accept me for who I am?
I always try my hardest; I do the best I can.
Can't you see how sad I've been?
The way you treated me must have been a sin.
I gave you a chance, let you in and tried to be your friend.
I should have known, you wouldn't be there in the end.
I wanted you to love me, I waited for so very long.
