Mother
Want to get close to you
But know that you aren't within reach
You give me a kiss on the cheek
Yet tell a careless whisper quielty when my ears cannot hear
Denying your betrayal
Refusing to take reponsibility
Refusing to heal the wounds
Just want you to be my Mother
To be my fortress
To be my friend
To carry me when I cannot walk alone
But, you keep me at a distance
Without realizing it
You cannot understand why I don't call you
Share with you my inner thoughts
My feelings
My dreams
Trust and loyalty are the keys
You don't have them
So the door remains locked
