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.

i wrote this poem for my mother who i've misunderstood and within this year have regained respect and sympathy for. i have a hard time expressing how i feel towards people no matter how dear they are to me, so i had to let out these emotions through this little poem i wrote not long ago.
