I usually don’t feel anything
even though Its Mother’s Day
my childhood really messed me up
so it’s always been this way
I used to wish you showed me love
I wanted nothing more
I used to long for tenderness
from the woman I adored
It’s a lack in my life that will always remain
I’ve accepted that’s just how it is
I never got to feel your love
so I had to settle for his
Never to know if I was loved
by the woman I called my mother
hurt more than abuse at the hands of the man
who damaged me like no other
