dear mother-

i look at you and feel a tug at my heart your child-like eyes speak to me i look at you and i know you are lost sometimes i wonder if you see just how much you could be if you trusted in something other than this with all the tears in your eyes i wonder how you see i look at you and i know you do not know who you are every time you talk it comes out as a stutter because inside you are always at war but we cannot apologize for the actions of others we cannot change their ways and you cannot go back to the past it is too far away.
