Why?

I used to hear you...

Sometimes you were in my dreams.
I used to wait for you,
to rescue me from my screams.

You're name was mother,
But you never had anything to share.
You gave me life,
But you never seemed to care.

I cried sometimes.

Because I couldn't hear you.
And I thought you were lost,
I couldn't understand why you would
Sacrifice me at any cost

And I told myself,
She will come.
Mommy isn't stupid
And mommy isn't dumb.

But you never came,
So I learned to live alone.
Yet somewhere inside of me,
Is that child that was never grown.

I fight myself everyday.

To be the woman I should be,
but there is still a part of me asking...
"Why?
Why don't you love me?"
