you should love me

unresponsive love,
from the one who is supposed to love me.

mom,
why am I not good enough?
what have I done to you?
why?

when I was younger you loved me,
tucked me in,
told me you were proud of me,
you treated me kindly.

now that I am older you detest me,
insult me,
belittle me,
treat me as a burden.

shouldn't you love me?
shouldn't you at least try?
make an effort?
something?

you should love me.
please.
