Mom
I used to take of you
When I was younger
Even when you didn't
Take care of me

Now that I don't live there
We don't have the same roof
All of your words
Land like slaps across my face

How can you ask me
If I wanted this
With the same mouth
That says "I love you"

Love isn't a grieving heart
Or every single day hurting
More than the last
It stings deep in my heart

Every time I look at my phone
And you accuse me
Of all the things you did
I die a little inside

Because it isn't love
To treat me like this
To **** me, with all your words
And all your stupid lies

How can you call yourself a mother
When you are so damm childish
How can you say it's all on me
When the ball lies in your court

There is a cost
That we all must pay
But I refuse, with all that I am
To pay a penny for you

Because you don't give me time of day
You didn't give me any worth
Or even just a kind word
To bad lies are worth nothing

So all the of the hurt
That you push upon me
Just pushes me further away
And I won't come back

I would do anything
For my family, that you know
Blood is so much thicker than water
Maybe that's why you choked

But, I need it to stop
Because there is more to life
Than all this foolish drama
And all of my heartache

So please, close your mouth
Shut your tongue behind your teeth
And let me life all that is life
While I still have time

For today is sleeping
With all of the yesterdays
And tomorrows sun rises
Behind the whites of mine eyes
