One sided love
I knew her since I drew my first breath
I wanted her to know me
I loved her since I first saw her
I wanted her to love me
A hundred summers past us by
And a million winters froze beneath my wings
I looked at her in anticipation
But she did not say a thing
Bitterness seeped under my skin
Loneliness engulfed my soul
With sorrowful eyes and weary heart
“Why don’t you love me mom?” I implored
Her chilling impassive eyes pierced my spirit
Tired of my pleading voice, she furiously stood
To satisfy her unhinged twisted mind,
She smothered me for good
