Mom

I've known you from the start
Even though you left me high and dry
Not even two years old
You give me up to get high
As I grew up it didn't matter
I wanted you in my life
But you rarely show up
Raising expectations high
If the pain was only mine to bear
I could take it all in
But how could you not care
Three daughters, my sisters
Left without a mom to confide in
You left us in a world that's cruel and dark
Don't crawl back again
You left us more than once
You've left your final mark
