A sinking feeling

My mother is the reason I don’t love you anymore 

She wormed her way between us 

Passing judgment before answers 

Took the smile off our faces 

Her words red hot and angry 

I couldn’t fix the things she’d broken 

A deer in headlights losing focus 

Hit me harder than a semi 

Going 90 down the highway 

She’s the reason I can’t love you anymore

Made me out to be a villain 

When I stood up for myself 

She went out of her way to start rumors 

Spreading chaos with intention 

Enjoyed the chase 

Enjoyed the lies 

Enjoyed the games 

Because to her I’m a good for nothing 

Now I’m lonely and beside myself 

With no recollection of a happy childhood 

But I loved you more than I could describe 

She made her way in and you trusted her lies 

So I don’t love you anymore 

She wormed her way in and left us destroyed
