Who Was He Mother?
Who was he, Mother?
The man you loved?
The one you left
To relax his guilt
For not loving back?
Who was he, Mother?
The man who kept you heart?
The one you replaced
With the boy
Who you couldn’t love back?
Who was he, Mother?
The man who held your dreams?
The one you thought of
When the boy kissed
And you couldn’t kiss back?
There is this man, Mother
The man I love
The one I left
To relax his guilt
For not loving back
There is this man, Mother
The man who keeps my heart
The one I replaced
With a boy
Who I cannot love back
There is this man, Mother
The man that holds my dreams
The one I think of
When the boy kisses
And I cannot kiss back
I want him, Mother
The man I love
The one I want to run to
The one I am guilty for
Wanting to love me back
