I was alone
when I was sad
when I was scared
I was alone
because you were never there

I woke up at night
crying
looking for you
but you were not insight

I spent night after night hurting myself
Blaming myself
for your absence
but it was all your fault

I remember the night
when those people came and took me from my home
do you? or were you even there?
I don't recall seeing your face
just a self-loathing woman
who never even cared  

You're just a cruel woman
who deserves to be alone
but you're not alone
the ones who are hurting
are ones left on they're own

It's sad to say... You were once my mother..
Ever since I was eight years old my mom would sleep with other guys that wasn't may dad. She lied to him and he became mean. He eventually went to jail and we moved states. Then child services came and took me and my sister away. We've been in two different foster homes. The first was abusive, and the second was sexually abusive. Nothing actually happened except for inappropriate words from the foster dad. We were then adopted by my uncle.
