The days seem never-ending
With a smile on my face, I stiff through it
But I'm not ok
We used to have such talks
Any daughter longs to have
But distance has forked our path
A simple "I love you" could go so far
As I try to drop a hint
"I'm missing you"
I know the world isn’t spinning in our favor
Life is a twisted thing
But I am growing up, and I get this feeling
You don't see me anymore
Every conversation I start
Always ends in bitter words
Did I do something wrong
Revenge is a sick thing
Especially when played upon an innocent victim
I wonder if I am the cause of your worst nightmare
Weeks fly by, and my goals change
I just want you to be proud
But when I tell you
My words stand unspoken
Drifting on sound waves right past you
Then drowned out by videogames
Do you miss me too?
Do you stay awake at night just wondering?
Thinking about my smile
Sometimes you seem so close
But my eyes open, and your image fades
I trip over tears
Buried under guilt
Is it my fault?
I hide in my room afraid
Not knowing your next mood
Because these days it is so easy
Rage shatters the windows
And my spirit
I love you mom
I miss you mom
Can you hear me now?
A whispered scream for your affection
I don’t want to argue
Cuddle up with me on the couch for a while
And kiss the top of my head
Squeeze me in a hug so tight and never let go
And I won’t let go either
Because I will finally be ok

This is heart-breaking and heart-felt!
Bad before the good: Maybe break it up into stanzas, 'cause all that bright pink on the pinkish background is kind of straining to read in one long stanza.
Good, good and more good: You delivered this with such simplicity and yet it was still poetic, still written with every ounce of feeling you can call forth! The ending was really impacting, especially because it matched up with a line in the beginning! ^-^
GREAT job
diggin it majorly

Lovely Expression dearry.......I hope things work out allright for you both! -
Like I said before, I don't know your mom, but, I don't think there is a true mother in this world who would not have positive reaction to a poem like this. You use plain every day laguage as if you were speaking normally, and yet, the words move from line to line with a sense of power and fluidity.
