Mother by Marie

Undoubtedly burdened by your issues
Tormented by time, tears and tissues
You put me down but pick me up
You heal my wounds, yet fuck me up.
You unglue my feet if they get stuck
When life is tough and gets too much.
I’ve laughed my greatest laughs with you
And cried a lifetime of tears for you
Life is pretty mad I think
And I understand why you drink
Careless stares and blood shot eyes
We are locked in frightened silent cries.
I have a key and go inside
I feel your pain or is it mine
It hurts sometimes
