Love and Lost

Love is like soft flowers
warming your heart and soul
no feeling overpowers
when they leave it’s like a hole
questioning your every movement
wondering what you did
ignoring your broken heart for amusement
bottling it up with a lid

Especially when it’s your own mother
betrayal and confusion
the one who’s supposed to love you like no other
her pretending as if it’s not an illusion
nothing but heart break left
left with only abandonment issues
stealing hope from your little girl like a theft
crying with only the support of a box of tissues

leaving her own daughter for years
thinking it was her fault all along
drowning in her own tears
when she was never in the wrong
still wearing hello kitty PJ’s
hugging her teddy bear
years later in her bed she lays
trust issues leaving her in despair
