..mom..?

Is that what I called you?

Maybe

But I was too young, too young to know

You left,

 your family,

your choice

.mother.? 

Is that what I called you?

Maybe

But I was too young, too young to know

You didn't have to

You could've waited 

You could've stayed,

…for me

Mama.?

Is that what I called you.?

Maybe

But I was too young, too young to know

Every Birthday,

Every Thanksgiving 

Every Christmas 

I wished for only one thing

I wished for you

Mommy.?

Is that what I called you.?

Maybe

But I was too young, too young to know

You ceased to smile

You ceased to care

You ceased to love

...nothing..

I called you nothing

Because you chose to stop breathing...

...and I was too young...

..too young to know..
