By Poetess Call Me Glen-Duh!
Have you heard a mother crying,
when she thinks no one is there?
Have you looked into those piercing eyes,
taken a glimpse of her despair?
I have watched a mother struggle,
being much stronger than before.
But in her nights of solitude,
she cries until she can no more.
Many wonder why she cries,
her broken heart can never mend.
Because each time she finds some strength,
the pain that kills her doesn't end.
She cries because her broken soul
can't handle the pain she must endure.
How much longer can she take it?
no one can tell her that for sure.
You question why she's so distressed,
it's something you cannot perceive.
This is what happens to a mother,
when her trust has been deceived.
You ask why she's in such agony,
why she hides pain behind her smile.
You see. . . a mother's greatest anguish,
is the betrayal of her child.
