Moment Addressed To Mom

I did not call you to talk 
Foolish 
Mind-numbing 
Speaking of nothing
I have not called for the deafening 
Silence
I always hear from you 
Even when your mouth is open 
And sounds are coming out
I called for all the 
Moments 
You made me cry
For the soul you forced awry 
I’ve called for me
I’ve called to yell
To fight 
To cry
To scream 
To move past those 
Moments
Let go and move on
Without your 
Horrendous 
Weight 
Upon me
I’ve called about the lies
Deceit and whys 
Life is too short
I’ve called to say 
Goodbye
I’ve called simply
To hang up 
Walk away
And 
Fly
