I always tell you “listen”, <br />you always say “I’m busy” <br />Why can’t there be a day, <br />When you’ll leave the things aside, <br />And actually pay attention to me? <br />You don’t know what you may be missing. <br />You don’t have any idea, <br /> of what I’ve got to say. <br />I don’t blame you. <br />But the days keep passing, <br />And everyday we are more distant apart. <br />I really care for you, <br />But my love has gone smaller, <br />I guess time, can also diminish things in life. <br />You think material things and gifts make me happy, <br />They do, but not as much as love and attention would do. <br />I wish we just had a day for only us two, <br />to spend the day together, <br /> as a mother and daughter will do. <br />My secrets I never share with you anymore, <br />My fears and emotions are never even noticed. <br />I walk right infront of you, <br />With no story to tell, <br />I come and leave, <br /> With a “hi” and “bye”, like a stranger will do. <br />Tears run down my cheeks, <br />Knowing that you are my mother, <br /> and my affection is not as big, <br /> as I wish it would be.<br /><br />Yisel Chong<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-only-ask-for-a-minute/
