Dear Mommy

Mommy I love you,
Why don’t you love me.
Mommy I'm sorry,
Sorry that in me it's him you see.

Mommy I love you,
Why can't you kiss me goodnight.
Mommy I hate it,
Hate that you can't stand me in your sight.

Mommy I love you,
Why do you beat me black and blue.
Mommy I'm sorry,
Sorry for what daddy did to you.

Mommy I love you,
Why is it from me you wish to escape.
Mommy I'm sorry,
Sorry I am your child of rape.

Mommy I love you,
You are all I have and all I need.
Mommy I'm scared,
Scared how at eased you are when I bleed.

Mommy I love you,
Why did you take my life with no mercy or love.
Mommy I forgive you,
And now I will love and watch over you from above.
