Mother

I had faith in you, truly.

You were the hero in my mind

I thought you’d swoop in and save me

Not just betray me.

I had hope

I believed in you, truly.

Defended you through the ‘growing pains’

Surely, she loves me?

Surely, she’d never leave me.

I was so naive

I followed you, truly.

Through every high and low

I assumed you’d accept me

Desperately trusted you loved me.

I wasn’t enough

I was killed by you, truly.

You ripped out my soul

And crushed me

I thought you loved me.

I was wrong

I still love you, truly.

Through this betrayel

You’re always a part of me

Forever etched within me

I want you out
