Mother

Oh mother, oh mother, why can't you see,
You can't see the woman I'm becoming to be;
Left your two daughters, one only thirteen,
Your choices, the things your family has seen;
The pain you sent through these stressful lives,
Left a puppy, a house, a box of dull knives;
Money cannot buy, but only say this...
No matter the amount, brings no such kiss;
The love of your family, the lives you made,
The things you gave up may only fade;
Remember those nights we took those walks,
The golf course and dogs, the long boy talks;
Advice from you may not help me out,
But thought of the effort how could i doubt;
The most useful life lessons i must admit,
Never cheat nor lie, steal nor forget;
How did i learn all this from you?
Its easy to see, just think it through;
Its the pain, the hurt, reflected back,
The mistakes and the things i know you lack;
I know what happened don't try to hide,
If you lie to me, know I'll be by your side;
I may hate you the most of everyone i know,
But your still my mother please don't let me go;
Your leaving me behind, who should i look to?
Your boyfriend, no way, i hate him its true;
Maybe my new mom the one you despise,
You could've known this, the days of your lies;
Money does feed, clothe, and entertain me,
But its more than that i need to see;
You cheated, you lied, you did forget,
Of those days of fake and things you regret;
What do you teach with the decisions you make?
A divorce, a new life, your children a stake;
You broke his heart and my respect for you,
How could you do all the things you do?
Cheating and lieing the two things i hate,
I'm your daughter, just forget that date;
The date of the day i see you again,
The memories, the thoughts are so hard to mend;
It's now been a week no call no shame,
My summers at home, just the same;
Think about yourself and what you've become,
Do you miss your old life, i do some;
I miss the thought of having you to look up to,
Or did i really look up to somebody like you?
Maybe its the thought, the illusion you brought,
Or the food or the candy or the clothes that you bought;
I think about the real reason you could up and leave,
Your boyfriend, your job, the money you receive;
Your boyfriend, hes fat and a prick at most times,
The money maybe to buy more wind chimes;
Whatever the reason I'm glad your so happy,
That you could act so stupid, fake, and sappy;
Why is it an act, the way you have felt and been?
The days since you've seen me now counting ten;
I'm glad life is better all on your own,
But remember this when your old and alone;
The people that love you, the only ones that will,
Are the ones moving on and receiving the bill;
Are you really happy, who may know,
But i am right now, not afraid to show;
You left me thats your mistake,
The bond we had, you did break;
Its not my fault so why am i talking?
Well to let ya know that I'm still walking;
Strong, more confident, you left a deep scar,
But i know for now your better afar;
For you won't love, you'll only pay
Because living for you, thats the only way;
Enjoy your life for you will find,
I love mine hope you don't mind
I have no more mom, but i have a dad,
I have a step mom and this will make you mad;
Shes more of a mother i ever found in you,
You chose not be a mom, but a stranger, its true;
Whatever you do, wherever you stay,
You can never forget the things that made you today;
So remember this mom, when you sleep at night,
You'll never have to deal with another daughter fight;
You gave up this girl for your own days of fun,
Just remember one thing, before I'm done;
What you want, not me, is time to roam,
I won't hold you back, just stay at my home;
The real home, my dad, my sister and me,
They're my real family and will always be.
