The Fall....

The Fall

I don't need a mother or a mother's love.
I'll never have the kind of mother others speak fondly of.
I don't believe in fairytales or happily ever after.
And, I certainly don't believe in my mother's laughter.
I don't do tea parties, or shopping trips galore.
For I don't buy into that relationship - not a worthwhile chore.
I don't trust a mother to truly love me at all.
For I know that inevitably a mother's love will fall.
