Mum.
I didn't call you on mother's day.
I didn't buy you a card
I didn't buy you flowers,
Mothers day was hard.

I tried to buy you a card,
But the words all seemed wrong.
They said you'd do anything for me,
But you've never been that strong.

I wished for a mum,
Someone to love me when I couldn't,
But I've always been more of a mum,
Even though I know I shouldn't.

All I ever wanted was a mum,
And I got a shell of you,
Consumed by drugs, drink,
And you haven't got a clue.
