where are you mom?

You give me kisses

You give me hugs

daily

to make up

for all the lost years

 

But I back away

 

Is that despondence in your eyes?

Is that pain?

It is hard to see in those dark black eyes of yours.

I feel at ease

to know that you are in pain

makes this suffering

more tolerable

 

Now come to me

and tell me what is wrong

so I can tell you

my heart aches

 

I am trying to teach you how to be a mother

with my confidence

of knowing your hurt

and it looks like

it is so much for you to take in

 

I would like to remind you

that I am your daughter

dont be afaid of me

although I am growing up

 

I am afraid of you

I am so disconnected

because I dont know

you

I need a mother now, not a stranger.
