She is a fighter
Love was supposed to be Sweet
Love was supposed to be Kind
Love was supposed to mean Forever
Love was supposed to mean Support
But Love was not kind...
She was a Fighter
She kept me Safe
I was Protected from the Abuse and Hate
He told her it was "Because I love you"
But it was it was because he was Hateful...
"Because I love you" was something my mother said
She said those 4 words when I was Sad
When I Asked WHAT made me special
When I was Depressed and Asking WHY
When I called myself Fat and Asked WHY
When I asked WHY she Cared about Me so much
When I asked WHY...
That is what those words should mean
They shouldn't be used to Abuse
To Inflict Fear
To make one Cry
To make one want to Die...
I write this because she was Strong
Because she IS Strong
Because she IS my Mom
and...
Because I Love You Mom
