Quiet Whispers
A mothers love is sweet and nurturing
However yours was never that
Your words stung like salt on a cut
Your eyes pierced my soul when you were having an episode
Did you mean what you said when you were sick?
Maybe it wasn't you talking
Was someone whispering the words into your ear?
I never meant to push you into the deep end
Perhaps I was disobedient
After all, I was young
All I asked for was your love
However mine was not enough
My love was nothing compared to theirs
No words I said could compare to the rush they created
The feeling they gave
As a daughter, I hate you for what you didn’t do
You didn't give me the motherly love I longed for
You failed to give me the nurturing care I deserved
As a woman I feel guilty for blaming you
You weren't yourself when you said all those things
They were whispering in your ear, persuading you to snap
Sometime I wish I would've whispered louder
Maybe then I could have blocked them out
