Internal Ache

(poems go here) Every tear, from every year Are all from you my dear Every feeling of hatred sprouted from everything you said Then you would ask Why I wear an emotional mask But you will never understand Because all you ever did was pretend You were never who you were supposed to be And you never really accepted me for me You always criticized But not once stood by my side You threw my weaknesses in my face Then would ask for a warm embrace You destroyed my entire world But never had the time to love your little girl You took away my every happiness And made my heart a mess You crushed my every dream And made my soul scream You were supposed to be my mother and provider, And you were neither You were the one person I was supposed to be able to believe And all you ever did was make me grieve And then you’d wonder why I never say I love you, Well I’m telling you now, it’s because I only say things that are true
