Lost In The Shadow of Maternal Abandonment

A mother’s love, they say, is true, But what mother does this? What does she do? She promises love, forever and more, Yet casts you out, heart turned to stone.

What mother does this, with anger deep, Abandoning you when you need her to keep? Her love, a facade, now shattered and worn, Leaving you lost, alone and torn.

What mother does this, with sadness and spite, Turning away from her child’s plight? In sorrow’s embrace, you find no reprieve, As her love fades, you struggle to believe.

So what mother does this, you may ask, Leaving behind an impossible task? To reconcile love with betrayal’s sting, In the shadow of what once was everything.
