Looks and silence give pain
Shame
Guilt
Where is the gentleness
Caring
Comfort
What did I do so wrong
When have I ever done right
A hug, awkward and meaningless
A show for others
Do you even know how
The words cut through me like a knife
Love You
The words that are supposed to express love and caring
Said as an afterthought
Out of obligation or guilt?
Have you ever really looked
Do you ever really see
or hear
The world isn't all rose colored
I've been in pain
Yet you see the sun and look past me
I reached out
Pleaded for help
Cried in pain
You were never there
I don't want your feable attempts to help
I want you to hear me
Feel my pain
Care
Really care
You talk with a sharp tongue
Paint a picture to the world of kindness and generosity
Inside is cruelty
Hurtful things you say
Blaming a child
The problems you ignored
Say nothing but your face says disapproval
Guilt fills me and pours through my veins
Silence as punishment
The hurt is more than one person should have to endure
You are only a name
You are not love or comfort
You -- Mother
