Incarceration

Your incarceration Causes me humiliation I try my best not to bring it up But my mind stays in this location I miss you so much but our relationship has never had a firm foundation Yes our relationship is just a complication So what am I to do You once were good to me But everything has changed A mother to me you were but now you are estranged Maybe prison will change you Maybe something’s to be arranged Because of you my mind is now deranged So now while we both sit staring at wall I tend to sit and wait for a 877 call Trying to remember our last interaction but I just can’t quite seem to recall Went through your things that people treated like a take all An intense anger that did install Before and after this incarceration Our relationship is at a deprivation Cause to you let’s be honest.. I was never an obligation As a mother you sent in your resignation Leaving me to learn how to be patient I wrote you letters hoping to make your day But in prison I’m not sure a day can be made A small piece of writing a letter written like band aid Praying to god that behind bars you don’t slowly fade They said at least a decade I heard and it felt like I was pushed in the deep end holding bricks I was weighed Down to the bottom I can’t catch my breath Yes I am so afraid Now Having to communicate with people from the past Needing help to talk to you so on my grudges I place a cast Seeing old faces and saying let’s get to the point no need to contrast Our feelings set aside and let’s keep all this off broadcast Our relationship is unsurpassed I need this process to move a little fast So your incarceration Has caused my heart some deflation At a point of starvation For something more than just a blood relation So now I’ve made it my proclamation That I will never be something even considered your replication
