A Mother's Love

Mother
A mother’s love is the rarest of all treasures
It is unequaled in all of love’s largest measures
A child cannot do without it from birth
It fills their life with tenderness and mirth

But what of a child who receives nothing from their mother
They often go out to seek it from another
But it’s a poor substitute which cannot compare
To the love of a mother and the loss at not having it there

You wake every morning hoping things will have changed
But it’s the same old hatred, you feel so estranged
You have been a good daughter a wonderful child
You have never done drugs, stolen or acted wild

So why am I not in her favor? Why does she not care?
To her you do not exist you’re simply not there
She talks and she moans, you’re her shoulder to cry on
But when it comes to your troubles she is not there to rely on

She taunts and she teases and puts you down
You cannot talk to her without leaving with a frown
You act interested, you’re funny, you fill her with joy
But you know that she will always prefer her little boy

I try to act impartial to say I don’t care
But in all honesty I am in total despair
All I want is my mother the woman who loves me
But she’s never been there for me to see

I look at my friends and feel anger and pain
Will I ever be able to love again?
Having received none as I grew up
Has made me totally devoid of love

If your own mother can’t love you there is no hope
My life feels like a mess in some twisted soap
I love you mum and I will always do so
But I feel that it is time to let go
Of something that is so precious to me
But something, im afraid that will never be
