"Strongest Bond"

Its supposed to be the strongest bond,

without words, it's just there.

A bond from birth,

between a daughter and a mother.

Maybe I missed out on the bond,

maybe it was broken over the years.

But I don't feel close to my mother,

as much as I wish through my tears.

This poem is easy to write

because I don't have to think.

I love my mom,

without a second blink.

But sometimes,

which others know,

its hard to be close

when you know it isn't so.

I try and try

to do things together

to do things we'll both enjoy,

well because she's my mother.

I wish we were as close

as I see some are with their moms

but we fight more than we should

and we explode like ticking bombs.

most will read and think

'oh shes just trying to rhyme',

but in all honesty,

what I write is true this time.

We have lots in common that is for sure,

but we don't talk about anything really,

not anything important that is,

because I stop myself because I think it's silly.

I want to tell her things,

or ask her questions,

but I don't feel she'll care,

it's a wasted conversation.

I want to joke with her,

but she's not the joking type.

I want that relationship,

like some stupid stereotype.

But that's not her

and thats not me,

and I guess that relationship

is never going to be.
