Mother

I tried not to think of you when you were gone....
I tried not to feel so alone,
but I always wondered what went wrong...
why you never called or answered your phone.

And what it would feel like if you brushed my hair...
or held me when someone had broken my heart,
but I am sure you don't even care...
you did well at forgeting your motherly part.

Do you think you will ever wipe away my tears?
or try to catch me if I were to fall.....
maybe listen to all my dreams and fears,
do you even love me at all?

I just watched as a shadow of saddness crept over your pretty face...
my words like a broken record, teasing at your mind...
I'll still be searching for comfort in this lonely place,
guess I should try leaving old memories behind....
