Lonely child I was I asked why I was not enough to lift her sorrows when I saw my mother linger in the dark broken body              body devoid of broken mind imploring to forget drinking herself away yearning to feel a little less mother who's fragile arms could never lift me mother who in her sadness could not see past her own void mother who fought valiantly against her own pain has managed to forget everything including me how i wish i could have understood
