Just One Question

Don't let it fool you This smile isn't the real me I don't understand why you don't care I was once everything you wanted me to be As I grew older I noticed your interest started to slip away I know I was once your baby But I don't know what I am today When things started to get tough You simply turned your cheek I never realized before That this may be why I'm secretly weak I needed your support So I could grow up strong But when something happened You simply told me I was wrong Although I'm not sure if it's the same I love you with all my heart I don't know what it does to you But it kills me when we're apart I've never tried so hard For anyone else in my life If you don't accept me I'll keep my head down and take it with pride When I really need you You seem to be gone What hurts the most Is that you're always here at home I don't know what to say I don't want to be done But just one question Do you love me, Mom?
