Tell Me You Love Me...Please

Growing up you were very strict 
You were a great Mother 
You never encouraged childhood friendships 
These were too silly

I was like all the girls my age 
My actions were labeled 
Ridiculous ludicrous and juvenile 
I always felt like I was being left out

You always had allot of love for those around me 
It was like a cake with too little icing 
Shallow in parts, no one would notice 
Unless they were to take a closer look

You talk about our differences 
These, will never be solved 
We would have to erase the slate and start 
Back before I was ever here

All these years I never knew what was wrong 
Until a dear friend helped me by talking 
Telling him of your quest, 
To fix the un-repairable

Being the little bird that was 
Pushed out of the nest too early 
Was always different 
Waited for you to say you Love me 

You, never could tell me you loved me 
The way, I wanted to be loved 
I am spiritual and have been alone for so many years 
I got through the worst of times 
If only you knew, what you missed….
