I wish I had a mother
I don't know how else to say it. I wish I had a mother. the lack of one is killing me, though the woman who birthed me sits just a room away.
I wish I had someone who came at my every cry, and held me with loving hands, and looked at me with gentle eyes.
I wish I had a lady who'd force me to put on another jacket because it's slightly colder than usual outside despite living in the desert just because she cares
I wish I had a woman who would tuck me into bed and read me one last story before giving me a kiss goodnight like she means it.
every action I've received from the woman who birthed me has been painfully empty,
I wish I had a mother.
