Title: Invisible Umbilical Cord
I never called you mommy
I always called you mom
I know you may be sorry
But our love is too far gone
Was it even there?
I mourn the bond we could’ve shared
I wish I came prepared
For you to leave me in despair
I know there was pain in your home
But does that pain take away from own?
I wish I could be your mom
So maybe you could’ve been mine
I would never punish you for speaking up or crying
I would only honor you for being so divine
I would never challenge you or tell you that you’re lying
So afraid of truth,
you closed your eyes when you saw me
I always called you mom, I would’ve loved to have a mommy.
