mom 2.0
what’s far more painful than your absence
is the knowledge that you
lied to me
and snuck around
behind my
back
and refused to discuss your
feelings with me,
despite the fact that for ten months I had to endure constant
accusations
of lying cheating satanic sacrifice and murder, despite the fact that every emotion
i could give
was given willingly
with no strings attached, no recompense demanded–
except for openness
and
honesty.
odd,
now that i think about it,
how much you resent your mom for cheating on your
dad,
how much you resent her for not appreciating all he
sacrificed for you, your sister, your mother,
how much you resent her for playing games with your dad’s emotions,
how much you resent her compulsion to shut down her heart when situations get too stressful,
how much you resent her for running away rather than face a difficult situation head-on,
how much you resent her for molding you into a newer,
more elegant and sleeker version,
of her.
