my mother, but not my mom.

you will always mean something to me. 

whether you know it or not. 

you will always be someone I COULD'VE have had in my life. 

but not someone I do have.

 

Someone I desire, someone I wanted to keep.

Someone who could've sought to make my life easier. 

 

but you didn't choose that. 

you chose a different world. 

you were the one that brought me into this world, 

yet you didn't want me in yours.
