LOVE ME WHILE YOU SIP YOUR LIFE AWAY
October 13, 2014
My mother only loves me, when she's drunk or high.
When I brought this up to her, she claimed it was a lie.
But I know different, I hear it in her voice.
The pain and disappointment, when her lips aren't moist.
I come home high and she plays with my hair.
When on any other sober day, she would've grounded me right there.
I know most people see me as lucky, but to me it just feels weird.
Because I'd rather my mother hate me, than "love me" by her seventh beer.
