I wish you could love me

At least just for a little bit

That's all I ask from you

Love

But you never gave it

You never will

Mother why are you always gone

You always come back late

With strange men in your room

They tried to touch me

So I hid in the bathroom

Why didn't you come?

Mother

You're always drinking

I see empty bottles of beer

Some are broken

I see white powder on the table

What is it?

You barely speak to me Mother

Do you give me love?

Do you give me laughter?

Do you give me smiles?

Do you give me hugs?

Not Mother

Mother do you not see what you do to me?

When you come home late

Drunk

You cut my wrists saying

'Now you know what I feel'

That's all you ever say to me

The only words you will ever say

Mother why don't care?

Am I not good enough?

Like those men

Do you love me?

Do you care for me?

Not mother

Mother I'm alone

In the bathroom filled with blood

I can hear your shouts and cries

Do you care?

No

It's just my imagination

You don't care

Not mother

I can see the darkness and warmth

I'm going now

Goodbye Mother
