Mother

I don’t know if you can hear me
When I’m calling out to you
You claim to hear the crowd

I try my hardest just to love you
But when I hold the roses
I get stabbed by the thorns

By blood I’m your child
But a stranger through your mouth
And from your mind
And I never knew why

But what I know
Is that it hurts just to love you
Don’t you ever say you love me
When your lover was before me

I don’t know if you can see it
But every time I look at you
I see the lies through your teeth

I wish I knew what should have happened
So I can fix the broken glass
That you keep throwing at me
