My throat won't stop constricting, I just can't look away. <br />I really need to talk to you yet I don't know what to say. <br /> <br />I will not let the tears fall. I'm stronger than I look. <br />You've never given credit for the strength survival took. <br /> <br />I know for you it's over. A mother you'll never be. <br />Disgust exudes from every pore... each time you look at me. <br /> <br />It's too much to consider, there's too much in our past. <br />You feel it's not worth trying cause you think it wouldn't last. <br /> <br />It knocks the breath right from my chest when I think of what won't be. <br />How does it feel to know you've caused me so much misery? <br /> <br />I wake myself up crying for the mom I'll never know. <br />You know how much I loved you, but still you let me go. <br /> <br />Will you ever try to love me... maybe try to be my friend? <br />Did you think we had forever... are you glad this is the end?<br /><br />Mary Nagy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/can-a-mom-just-say-it-s-over/
