One sided love

I knew her since I drew my first breath

I wanted her to know me

I loved her since I first saw her

I wanted her to love me

A hundred summers past us by

And a million winters froze beneath my wings

I looked at her in anticipation

But she did not say a thing

Bitterness seeped under my skin

Loneliness engulfed my soul

With sorrowful eyes and weary heart

“Why don’t you love me mom?” I implored

Her chilling impassive eyes pierced my spirit

Tired of my pleading voice, she furiously stood

To satisfy her unhinged twisted mind,

She smothered me for good
