Mama
When I look in the mirror,
Your face comes in clearer.
I always see you looking back at me,
Of all your children, I look most like thee.
I am so sorry for being stupidly pissed.
Because of this, much has been missed.
My actions had nothing to do with the past.
I forgave you when you asked.
I look back with dread,
About things I shouldn't have said.
I broke your heart in two,
When I turned my back on you.
A mother's love is unceasing,
And what I did left you grieving.
We are all broken in some way,
Please take to heart what I say,
I am hoping to restore what I so carelessly tore.
And maybe you will love me once more.
I am so very sorry for breaking your heart.
