Unwanted (2011)

I offer myself to you.

Bare and naked.

I rip my heart out for you.

Cold but still beating.

I work my fingers to the bone for you.

Nothing but scraps of what they used to be.

But you can't see what you don't want.

And you don't want what you can't see.

So you throw me away, bare and naked.

You step on my heart, cold - no longer beating.

You push my bloodied hands away from you in disgust.

You don't see how hard I've tried.

You ignore the tears I've cried.

I guess this is all I'll ever be.

I love you anyway mommy.
