Sometimes when you act like this
I imagine you are a little girl A girl that has been hurt deeply by the world but most importantly her mother A mother’s love is necessary for things Seeing that bond become severed must hurt every cell of a human Your shame became my shame I woke up before the cycle could repeat And I still wonder what I could have been without your hurts |
