I Wish You Would Love Me , Mom

Akshadha_Joshi1310

I wish you would love me , mom,

as much as you love him,

I wish I could be the daughter you wanted,

Not this unwanted storm,

Our relationship fading away in a light so dim.

 

But do you really love him so much,

That just to create your perfect image,

You would hurt me ?

Wounded by your words, my heart is what I clutch,

You shame me for holding a grudge,

But am I not even allowed to get hurt?

You throw at me your dagger like words,

So nasty.

 

You tell me you love me,

You tell me you're proud,

But I don't feel loved at all,

I'd never become like you, it's something I vowed.

 

What can I do so you'd love me ,mom?

I'm begging you , care about me more , mom,

I feel like I'd never be good enough for you, mom.

 

Maybe in another universe, you tell me you loved me 

And I feel loved.

Maybe in another universe, you got the daughter you always wanted and you aren't ashamed of your own blood.

I wish you would love me, mom.
