I have sacrificed so much
More than you know
I sacrificed my happiness
I sacrificed my soul
I hate to sound so needy
Selfish in the flesh
I have sacrificed so much
I did it all for you
Now you go and leave me
At a time I need you most
You didn't die or anything
You leave knowingly, leaving me your ghost
I wanted to leave you myself
To this day I wish I would have
But I stayed for it was expected of me
My soul placed on the slab
I want to also tell you this
But I know I never could
I'll keep this all inside
Just like a good daughter should
More than you know
I sacrificed my happiness
I sacrificed my soul
I hate to sound so needy
Selfish in the flesh
I have sacrificed so much
I did it all for you
Now you go and leave me
At a time I need you most
You didn't die or anything
You leave knowingly, leaving me your ghost
I wanted to leave you myself
To this day I wish I would have
But I stayed for it was expected of me
My soul placed on the slab
I want to also tell you this
But I know I never could
I'll keep this all inside
Just like a good daughter should
Do not get me wrong. I love my mother with every fiber of my being. I am happy to be of service to her. But I need her right now and she turns from me. I am angry, but still love her and will do anything and everything she asks. She is moving and is expected to be moved over 6 hours away from me by end of summer. She told me she wants to live the rest of her days in her "cabin" close to the lake. I respect that, just being a little selfish right now.
