Wishing for a mother

One that hasn't left me bare

One that hasn't stolen my money

One that has great hair

One whose kisses make you feel loved

One who doesn't judge

One who supports your mistakes and one that shares your heartbreaks

One that doesn't drink herself to sleep

One that doesn't make you weak

I wish for a mother that held me when I cry

With a gentle head rub led with a relieving sigh

One that wasn't too broke to pay for my education

One that isn't selfish enough to spend money on her addictions

This woman was there and I know she still may be

But our personalities have drifted apart in the world of the sea

I hope soon she'll hit rock bottom, where she'll find some support

Because I'll be waiting for her forever.
