You made it feel like home.
In everything that you are, everything you've ever been
And I love you, so deeply and so sweetly
And if fear, fear everything. I mourn. I grieve.
You're just a little girl, just like me.
Mother, did you know I died along with you?
Maybe the corruption began in the womb
Where I felt everything
Every hurtful word, every doubt
And I still seek your warmth
Deep inside of me, everything I am
Wants to be intertwined with you
A bird who never wishes to leave the nest
Not for me
Not for them
For you
Don't you understand? Their words, their eyes
They could run a marathon, wrapping you underneath their feet
And I only wish to protect you,
My hatred growing faster and faster as
The words become threats
And the wolves bite at your feet
But I want to hate you.
Your silence, turning away from me
From fear
Because you are weak.
Frail. Yet you wish me not to see you that way.
When the screaming began, the violent shaking of the house.
The door shaking the walls
As he came in.
You stood and obeyed
Like a dog, a fucking dog.
How is a dog supposed to take care of her mutt children
When all she does is take the boot?
