FORGOTTEN YEARS

Behind the prison doors are the things I never said
memories permanently imbedded in my head
she had me, she left me
she never truly cared
I was her second child, but still she wasn't prepared
call me or write me you never did
how could you do that? To your own kid
crushed like ice like twenty tons have been
thrown onto my soul
you spoke those words
that emitted through your vocal chords
like venom.

you were never there to wipe my tears
you weren't there for me throughout the years
without a mother I felt lost and a little confused
if parenting were a contest I'm sure that you would lose
 

Years and years passed still no word
the words 'I love you' I never heard
you had me
you left me
you never truly cared
my most important memories
we never shared.
