Seeing Your Mother Cry
They told me your never supposed to see your mother cry.
But what the forgot to mention is that seeing your mother cry isn't the end.
Its when you see your own mother telling her kids that she hates her life and wishes she'd just die.
Its when you see your own mother drinking that last drop of ***** as if its the only thing keeping her alive.
Its when you see your own mother taking all those pills shes subscribed because the doctors think it will fix her.
Its when you see your own mother talking to herself saying, "its time."
Its when you see your own mother laying on the floor passed out, with a still lit cigarette in the ash tray and beer cans spread around her.
Its when you see your own mother look at herself in the mirror and drop down to the floor telling herself that the person in the mirror isn't her.
Seeing your mother cry isn't the end, its seeing the aftermath of the tears, seeing all the pain in her hollow eyes eat her alive.
