To My Birth Mom
I’ve never met you
Oh, but I want to
You gave me up when I was small
Was it a good thing, after all?
Do I ever cross your mind?
Do you look in the mirror at your eyes and see mine?
Was I not the one you wanted?
Did you want someone else?
Immediately you said, “Someone else can have her”
And I wish I could remember
If you told me, “I love you”
If you said that you’d be true
Even if I remembered you lying
At least now, on the inside, I wouldn’t be dying
Now here I am with nothing left of you
Except a picture, a letter, and a teddy bear so cute
I wonder if you ever thought back to the day
You held your baby girl in your arms and swayed
Do you remember the baby with black hair and blue eyes?
The little girl who deafened you with her cries
You remember the little girl who would have called you mommy?
That little girl was me
