Good Bye, Mother

I love my mommy

she hugs me when I am sad,

tickles me until I laugh.


You look like your dad,

she wears an expression I cannot understand,

did you ever love daddy?

No.


She walks out the door again,

I do not know when she will be back.


Her brown eyes, from her mom,

surrounded by a glossy red.

My hazel eyes, from my dad,

sleeked with tears.


You promised to be there.

Her breath reeks of booze

as she snickers and picks up another can.


Years pass, I have become acquainted

to the chagrin of my sporadic mother.


I no longer cry.
