my mother and the monster, by Gabrielle Subscribe to rss feed for Gabrielle

Who are you?
i dont know you any more
i scream in your face the violence of my pain
the searing heat of my blood boiling over 

mother! i cry... mother i sob
the mother of tenderness 
the mother of my youth
i look in your eyes and i see shes not there
shes gone... who is this woman who looks at me?

with cold sullen eyes
dead inside
with make up plastered on thickly
like a doll

the men now say shes sexy
the men drink and breathe their sin into her
the drugs make her feel better
her face old and her eyes cold

mother come back to me, i scream 
mother i love you 
her hand intwined in some monsters grip
the monster has her
the monster has her

give her back to me


its too late.... the monster grins 
the lust has consumed her innocence
the drugs control her mind
you will never have her back
shes mine.
