"Mother: I Can't Love You"
by The Empyrean

and she
used me and abuse me
and confused me with her motives
i called you mother, and once i really loved her
but after all the pain and all the stress my heart
was filled with emptiness
and her bullshit filled my chest
See she would
beat me and burn me
and call me names and spurn me
turn me away in times of need
used our poverty for her greed
never
to my benefit
My concerns were irrelevant
the things i wanted never factored into her equation
of how to remedy her broken down cheap beauty
But covergirl may cover your flaws and all but not the holes in your walls of logic
the insanity we see masked whatever superficial beauty that you still have the receipt for
what more
i cant love you
I cant love my mother
and people think this is an abomination and
they're right
It is
the way you treated us your kids and i know you didnt want me but did i really deserve
this
But you know ive been fine without you not that you asked
not that your care
but i do
i always give out hope that someday youll change and i tr to keep in touch and i know it seems strange but
all the pain i went trough dcant quite fill the emptiness and though i cant love you
i still cant help
but miss you
