I don't know why I still cry over you

That just gives you more power

Just gives you that chance to call

That chance to change my mind


I don't know why I still love you

Because you proved you don't love me

Because you have taken every opportunity to beat and batter my broken heart

Because you have lied and cheated

Because you have manipulated and abused every piece of me I thought I kept hidden

Every piece of me that I saw worthy

        of love

        of keeping near and dear so you couldn't mess it up

But you still reached through my tender chest

You still took your clawed hands and carefully ripped open my torso

You still took everything I had


And ruined it.


How dare you

You dare to take pieces of me that are not yours to look at much less

TOUCH

You dare say "I love you"

When you broke that promise the second you lied

The second you decided you couldn't even come clean to your own child


How dare you say "I miss you"

When you falsified that claim the second you told me to never hang up on you like that again

The second you made excuses

The second you couldn't be an adult

The second you couldn't take responsibility


How dare you call yourself my mom

You are not my mom

You are my biological mother

But you will never be my mom

Ever

Again
