Cut to the Core

In this place I wait

Trying to soothe

Though the pain is great

Are you sure your words don't slice

Double check them

If that isn't good enough maybe thrice

Core me as if I am an apple

If that doesn't suit roll that dice

How about this naked soul

Once more

Come on play your role

Jealousy and hate consume you

One more thrash

That should suit you

Is she not kindred enough

Maybe next time she can call your bluff

Bring daggers as you dare

Your words kill enough

This time she is no longer scared

Hate no longer resigns within

Come on tell me once more how you think it is a sin

Belittle this woman so

Keep saying guess what you'll never grow

Try and take away the only life she's created

While tossing her your mirror holding trash bags

On multiple occasions

You let her down

Almost letting them drown

She cried and held them so

As you claimed she killed them so

Dragging her feet as she fed them their meals

You still hate her so it never heals

Yet unfit you call her

Then she gave you her last breath

Hey some nights she held you to her chest

Kicking and screaming as they tore you from her very heart

Collapsing on the floor because she loved you from the start

So you fell

That is OK

I dust you off as always

Take her from me if you dare

Just remember who has always cared

No triumph there will ever reign

Because I birthed her through all that pain

Seven weeks of double shifts

Just to bring home three Christmas gifts

Touch one hair on her tiny head

A true mother's wrath you will dread

This mother has slaved to bring home her bread

Sleepless nights never with frustration

I'LL NEVER REGRET HELPING YOU THROUGH THOSE SITUATIONS

Book after book to complete the next task

Meanwhile you still hide behind that same mask

One more time please tell me how it's a sin

To fight for what's mine again and again©
