Mother

I've always called you mother

When my friends 

would call their mothers

mama

I would glare

That's too warm and loving

nothing like you

Mama is

warm homemade cookies

cinnamon apples

raspberry jam

Sunday morning pancakes and bacon

You were never mama

You were

cold, slate, dark

sadness, anger, tears

I always wished I had a mama

Sometimes

I even

wished

she was

you
