Mother, Why?

"Mommy, why are you running?
Mommy, why are you crying?
Mommy? Mommy?!!"

Once upon a time, like all the other stories
Every child has ever heard before.
I sometimes hate the way they always sound
So happily trapped within their fragile little world...

Wipe away the fake smiles...
You torture me with this thick sweetness
And then throw me to the ground.
Why did she have to leave me with you?

Mother, why? Mother, why?
Why did you have to leave,
While I'm still trapped,
Bound up by the blood that ties us?

Once upon a time, I was so happy.
We had a real family, so caring,
So lovingly understanding,
And I actually loved staying home.

But then you had to go away...
So far away, I'll never reach...
I feel as though you escaped...
Without a care for my own health...

Mother, why? Mother, why?
Why must I feel this pain
While you're off somewhere else
Living your life to the fullest?

His words are venomness to hear,
His fists feel like rocks against my skull,
And as I fall to the dampening floor,
I can only wonder...

Mother, why? Mother, why?
Why did you go so far away
And leave me here
With a monster to raise me?

Once upon a time, like all the other stories
Every child has ever heard before.
I feel my anger bubbling up
When I hear their cheers, their words of fake happy tales!

Once upon a time...
There was a boy...
No happiness ever came his way...
The bruises and scars are his only constant friends...

Once upon a time...
There was a happy family...
They did everything together...
They fell apart when the Mom ran away...

Mother, why? Mother, why?
"Mommy!! I need you!!"
Mother, why? Mother, why?!
"Where are you?!!"

Mother... why? Oh, Mother, why?
Why did you leave...?
Why did you run away...?
Why did you leave me behind...?

Mother... Mother... Mother, why...?
Was I not good enough
To stay happy with you...?
Why, why, why... Mother... why...?
