I counted.
And counted.
It seemed like forever.
For days I waited,
nearly two weeks.
When they came to get me.
But she never came back.
The mother I had grown with.
The mother I had loved.
She left me.
alone.
In the cold damp street.
kissed my cheek.
Tears running down her face.
She whispered sorry.
Told me to wait,
Said she would return.
she never came back,
But I still waited.
I still wait.
