Thirteen

By Beautiful Scars

My mom wrote this about a year and half ago, right before I left,
if only I could have known then all the pain I would cause her.

I know I have to protect my heart
Before she rips and tears it apart
No matter how I try, it’s not enough done
The emotion the pain, I wish I could run
But she owns my heart......

What a hypocrite I know I must seem
Because I remember the pain of thirteen
Dark and beautiful and still so pure
my life entwined with hers gone like a blur
But she owns my heart......

I love her so much my heart aches
my life disappears as she takes and takes
she needs me, she loves me, and then she hates me again
twists my heart like a game she has to win
But she owns my heart.....

Thirteen years given, she cannot wait to get away
I’m so lost I don’t know what to do or say
I’m losing her but I try to hold on
because she owns my heart even if, she’s gone
