My Heart

My heart used to be warm and soft.
But now I'm lost.
Now my heart is bitter and cold.
Your lies are getting old.
You said you loved me,
You said you cared.
I'm through being scared. 
All you care about is your stupid boyfriend.
I can't wait for him to go to prison.
You'll pay for what you did.
You never cared about your kids.

(I wrote this poem for my mom last year. She is currently in prison)
