Mother, Why?

by Lyra   Jul 8, 2005


Where have you gone?
The silence is screaming, and I'm screaming back
Why, Mother?
You promised me not to leave.
And I trusted you.
Is it my fault that they all said you hurt me and I needed to be taken away?
Is it my fault you didn't listen and denied it, denied me?
How can you forget those nights?
I was all alone, and I could hear you crying along with me.
Two different rythyms, but the same pain.
I love you, Mother, I love you!
If those words could make you come back I'd scream them for all the world to hear!
If I thought that You loved me back
I'd prove I have a heart by breaking it.
And I'm alone again, but this time, you're not crying anywhere but inside my head.
Remember the doll?
Why did you have to break her, Moma, why?
And the games.
I've danced around your circles for years just to see you.
But you won't even take a step in my direction.
I can hear you when you whisper but you can't even hear me screaming.
