Mommy

You left me

Never said goodbye

Leaving me questioning

My self being

Subconsciously thinking

You left because of me

When it was of your

Own free will

The things you did

To me and my brothers

I could never forgive

You hurt us

And broke us

Daddy said it would be okay

Daddy always says that

Daddy’s always right

We covered up

What you had done

For months after you left

Slowly but surely

We opened up to Daddy

We told him the things

That you had done

Mommy why,

Why did you hurt us so?

Why didn’t you love us?

Why did you hurt us so

For years I longed

For reasons

To relieve my doubt

Never could I find

A single one

The words you used

The pain you inflicted

Caused me to hide away

Now here I am

Alone at a crossroad

Realizing for the first time

That for the last

Seven years

I hid my hurt

At not understanding

How you could do this

to me.

I hate you

And thath urts

Most of all

Because I hate

No one

I wish you

Ungratful things

In your new life

Apart from us

Mommy
