Love me, Mom

by Kara   Aug 23, 2005


I wouldn't have been an addict if it weren't for you
If you would have loved me,
My problems would have never
occurred
Just a little bit of attention or affection
But that was too hard for you to come
out of you imaginary world
So you starved me
I messed up and ruined your life
I'm sorry for existing
I'm sorry for living at all
Look Ma,
No hands, be proud
I'm teetering on the edge
On the border of insanity
But you still won't forgive me
Instead you push me
The littlest thing you say makes me
start to tip
I long for you to love me
But you replace my presence with a computer
My arms are flailing, reaching for you
I'm trying to be what you want but I guess my sister has already
taken my place
I try to steady myself, hoping for
some arms to catch me
But instead you laugh and watch
me fall
You watch until you don't recognize
me at all
I'm out of your life
Like a stranger at best
You lost me and you're happy
Happy at last
Nothing is left of your past
