#quartez

My mom  She tells me  to accept apologies  I may never receive I try to obey her But the lack of closure Opens up space in my head And then I have room for wondering Anxiety kicks in And Again I try to obey her

“He will forget everything you ever did for him Just as he thinks you did You did not forget You simply did not brag about them You did them out of love  Despite what he may think

He will forget the times when no one agreed with him Except for you He will forget every time you checked on him He will forget how much you loved him He will forget the time that you were there for him When Everyone else left him He will forget the streams of tears that he has caused under your beautiful bright eyes

Or at least he will say he forgot it In order to help him sleep at night.”

Tell you that you are being dramatic

Disregard the mess that he has made

All while you try to clean it up.”

There is going to come a day when I can look at you and not see neither love or hate or feel mad or sad or feel anything and on that day I will look at you and I will see nothing

I am ready for that day, are you?

and the echoes we hear

Come from her walls

and not the ones surrounding us.”
