Build me up, tear me down
I can't live with you around
Life of lies and hateful hearts
This is where my journey starts

Broken mirrors, fragile glass
Piercing pieces of the past
All I know has fallen through
And for this, thanks is due to you

So many fears I'm forced to face
And memories I can't erase
Forever, your love I will seek
A promise that you'll never keep

And for this I shall always weep
Not on the surface, but down deep
I'll weep, and weep, and weep,
And weep.

© Sara P., Lake Mary, FL

My real life moter inspired people me to write this. i just want people to understand that no matter how much I detest her, there is still a part of me that yearns for that motherly love.
