Mother


I scream,

She cries.

She screams,

I cry. 

We scream. 

We lie. 

Slowly inside we die. 

I love,

she loves. 

We love but we hate. 

We close our eyes,

time ticks by. 

We see images,

to what could've been a real family. 

It tears us apart. 

I walk away.

My hands clenched strong. 

She leaves out of sight. 

I fall to the floor weak. 

I love you.
