A Mother No More
i once had a mother
and a sister
and a brother
her head was twisted
she wished for death
and barely missed it
she hated her life
all she wanted was true love
and to become a wife
she tried soo hard to end it
but her spirit failed to split
************
they sent me away
i can still remember
grandma coming and helping
me pack that day
As i alone walked to the car
i looked back
not understanding the distance
so far
she shut the door
and i knew in that moment
she was my mother no more
and in that moment let my
mind know
its time for all of us to just let
go
months later i got a strange call
and i knew
sometimes rehab cant fix em`
all
To: my real mom
Whom has placed this horrible
curse I call life upon me
