A head full of memories good ones and bad Can someone tell me, Where is the mum I used to have? She moved away, then close to home More than once or twice It's as though she takes a gamble And depends on the numbers of a dice. Then she moved close to me It took me a while to get involved I started to feel trust again My problems began to solve. I was just getting well again Starting to laugh and smile Something I didn't do for a long,long while. Again she may be moving It's set off a trigger inside of me Why can't she just leave my feelings be. Slowly feeling depressed again Something I have no control I just want to curl up and hide back in a hole. Many people say "don't let her get to you" But when you have the scar Oh it's so hard to do.
Reason for writing:
This poem is self-explanitory it was written when when my mum was going to move away again, this stirred up a lot of emotion. My mum left the family home when I was 14,not realising at the time but the day she left she also walked away with the bond we once had. A bond I know I can never ever replace.
