it's funny,
for years
i thought that
because it didn't bruise
it wasn't abuse,
i thought
it was just discipline
it's funny,
for years
you would hurt me
and as soon as i learned
to trust you again,
you would hurt me again,
how stupid of me
well i know better now,
and i am trying
to believe
that i didn't deserve it,
and i am learning
not to love you,
it's safer that way

Wow, This is so sad, I'm sorry that you have a bad relationship with your mom, my mom and I are exactly close either and it really sucks when you can't trust your own parent... I hope things get better for you Hun, I wish I could comfort you and that your mom could truly see what a priceless pearl you truly are

i can relate to that, its funny how when you just give someone enough trust to not hurt you, they rip your heart out.. very well written..
