Mother

At times I'll fall and my life is scattered
I keep wanting to run to you
But you've not been there
For so long
When you left I was shattered
I used to know the truth
But no one else cares
It's all wrong
The world requires proof
As evidence it is fair
But you are gone
Even as I know your voice is silent
I wait to hear it again
The need in me remains
Even in the quiet
Even in a world that doesn't matter
When I can hear you speak
And run to you again
