Mom

Completely clueless of love,

Betrayed your loved ones;

Bound by blood,

And as broke as the broke comes.

You watched the bruises appear,

While you enjoyed the narcotics;

Hit after hit I feared,

A selfish psychotic.

You didn’t notice because you adapted,

To the man who hit us;

You were completely distracted,

While we adjust.

Eventually your body had went through withdraw,

And you came out that bathroom;

3 days in all,

Bruises looked like tattoos.

Years after got a lot worse,

Still struggling with addiction;

Reimbursed,

And evicted.

You sat in that house,

While i was forced;

Ripped off blouse,

And no remorse.

I forgive you for all that went on,

Because it’s the right thing to do;

But that little girl’s gone,

And somehow she still loves you.
