Quesions for a Mother Options

[Gypsy Eyes]

Obviously this is a very emotional poem, and I actually plan on giving it to my mother sometime. It's been awhile since I've written something, excuse me if it's a bit rusty.

Questions for a Mother

Where were you?
When my walls began to cave in.
Where were you?
When my friend succumbed to a life of sin.

Where were you?
When it felt like I carried the world on my shoulder.
Where were you?
When things only got tougher as I grew older.

Where were you?
When I finally recieved my first real kiss.
Where were you?
Surely that's something a mother wouldn't miss.

Where were you?
When I first fell in love.
Where were you?
You see it seemed like a gift from up above.

Where were you?
When that special someone tore out my heart.
Where were you?
When I watched my world fall apart.

Where were you?
When I relied on a bottle of pills every night.
Where were you?
When I was going to give up the fight.

Where were you?
When I viewed the world with cold dead eyes.
Where were you?
Couldn't you tell I was wearing a disguise?

Where were you?
When all but one were turned against me.
Where were you?
When cold reality allowed me to see.

Where are you?
As I watch my friends fade away.
Where are you?
It seems I'm under a vow of silence everyday.

Where are you?
As I watch my life pass me by.
Where are you?
You sit next door, dont you hear me cry?

Where are you?
I walk the crowded hallways yet feel so alone.
Where are you?
Now that I'm tempted by things you don't condone.

Where are you?
I'm beginning to grow numb to the world.
Where are you?
I thought I was your little girl.
