I feel like a failure, like less of a woman.

Because you never taught me

how to sew a button on.

Never spent nights awake with me

discussing what is beautiful,

Making love meaningful.

You're an enigma,
standing with a ring of wonderment,

but I have heard you crying in the dark.

Please tell me what you think

    This really reminds me of my grandma.

    It makes me sad.

    But you write so beautifully. Amazing job!

    Wow shortyjo, this is a powerful piece. It just makes me feel bad for dissing my mum for not being perfect. They are "an enigma,
    standing with a ring of wonderment. " And its not until we enter their shoes, that we'll answer the enigma.

    Stink news about your flat!!! That sucks bro
