Why Does It Feel Like War With You?

Last but not least,
was that a mistake or a gift?
I feel your presence but your love is lost,
the time we have is fading day by day,
I ask for a mother and I get a slap,
I ask for love and I get a scream,
I dont want regrets when time runs out,
so I'm asking you now lets reunite and make time count,
I'm out of tears,
wore out of love when love isn't given back,
your love and affection you lack,
you call me names when I ask for your love,
is it a wall your hiding behind because of your mothers lack of love , who are you that I call mother,
I dont know anymore? That is my question,
it's time for me to leave the nest and go on my own path,
I just hope its not to late to get you back,
we both done this by pushing each other away,
but now it's your chance to make me stay,
you try to make me feel down, and it works,
but i'm at the end of the road,
and it's time to turn around,
all i'm asking for is a mother,
equal to the world,
it's sad for people to not have parents by death,
but by choice is just plain selfish,
so the question is what will it be,
will you retract your claws and change the road we're on,
or just come to a dead end!
