stranger in the picture

by chritty - Aries



Each day I pass the picture on the wall
and I see the stranger staring back at me
I wonder if she even cares at all
cold blue eyes glare at me intently
as if tying to find out who “I really am
and I cant help but stop and stare back at her
who is this person that is in the picture
why does she look so familar
there is something about her eyes
that I can’t seem to ignore
once long ago she was here
I know I can feel it in her stare
she knows me and she might have even cared for me 
once when I was a little girl she held me close
I can smell the scent of her, I think it was ivory soap
she use to tell me stories about a princess
with cinnamon skin and eyes the color of the sea
infact this stranger looks a bit like me
everyday I pass the picture on the wall
and see the stranger staring back at me
It's coming back to me now I know who she is
she's the mother that I never knew at all
