The tension between us
Tight as a rubber band stretched to it extent
You on one end and I on the other
We’re looking, eye to eye
And in the back of my mind
As if on remind
I’m remembering all of your torment
I rehearsed the words
That my heart wanted to pour out to you
But respect kept my lips silent
So I keep a firm grip on my end
Making sure my finger doesn’t extent
But then
You move
Because you have some sort of point to prove
But your point won’t ever reach an end
You ask if I’m listening
I pretend
Your words to me have no adequate meaning
They are just demeaning
Invisible tears on my faces are streaming
My face
Become wet
Not in front you
My mind forget
It’s stuck like glue
I owe you some type of debt
I wish I knew
Because I would pay it back it back
In a instant, a heart beat
Quicker than gossip travels through the streets
Just so this can stop
Dripping water on concrete
Especial at a constant beat
The once solid surface will start to deteriorate
My feeling toward you irate
Then we start to cross that thin line
Between love and hate
But how do you despise me when I have your every trait
Me?
You chose to create
Life for me wasn’t up for debate
Everything I do
Is to try and please you
I give you my best
And you ask where the rest is?
How dare you!
Wait…
Let me catch myself
And place all that anger back on the shelf
All I can do is drop to my knees and pray
Pray for the day
Where those dark cloud would clear
And there no longer be grey
So when our rubber band again pop
Before pleasurable regret spill out
I’ll stop
And remember no matter what you love me
Even if my teary eyes aren’t able to see
But my heart knows it definitely
After all
You are my mommy
