Letter To Mother

Letter To Mommy

I never meant to shame you.

I never meant to be child you never wanted, the burden to your heart.

I never meant to seem ungrateful, I didn't mean to play that part

Is it my fault because I wanted to be Daddy's little girl?

That I wanted to be his joy  and pride?

All I wanted was a secure place in his world,

I didn't mean to take your emotions for a ride.

I hurt the woman who gave me life,

And I regret it every day.

I didn't mean to make you feel bad.

I never wanted you to feel this way.

All I wanted was the love that I had been lacking,

The approval was what I craved.

To fill the space in my heart that his attention had been slacking,

To get as much love and affection I could save.

Instead I pushed away you.

Hurt and made you cry.

I never meant to do that.

Never meant to let the love you had for me die.

Now I'm lost and wayward.

Stripped of my mother's love.
