Dear Mother, When you gave birth to me you held me so tight, And I was your light bundled in grey and blue. So what happened to you, did you not love me anymore? When you let the evil in, let him shake me to my core? At the tender age of four, you knitted dreadlocks to my head And read me stories in my bed, and said That daddy loves us still. And Daddy was always out to **** And it's something I still feel when I let men **** me 'til I'm ill. Dear mother, what happened to you? You beautiful angel wrapped in robes With henna, bangles, flats, and globes... Hanging from your ear mother dear? I have your wedding pictures around And the screaming still resounds resounds resounds resounds the sound Of you getting hit, it never left me, not one bit. Sixteen, I was a truant, I was your friend, your therapist. At 18, I loved you so much I hid the train tracks on my wrist And never passed a test, you still said I was the best but I never ever got my rest Because the pounding in my chest because the pounding on the door, because you crying on the floor because your partner to this day destroyed my faith and so much more. Dear mother who are you, thou that thinks in whiskey dreams who drinks and drinks and drinks to break my love stitched in your seams? Oh mother dear you almost killed me Why would you **** the one you love? You could have killed my brother, love. And I am running out of love. And it hurts how much I love your pretty face in every place in every storefront where we wandered drunk and happy (Your ****** dreadlocks black and ***** When I begged for a better life, Michele, You couldn't bear it, called me snappy. You didn't care for it , not at all, I was never invincible, you saw me fall And didn't take it as any reason to commit to thriving and end your treason And now I'm surviving on cigarettes and decrepit *** and loving you. Mommy dear, what happened to us what happened to me what happened to you?

Was in a car crash. Old wounds reopened.
