Her Mother's Funeral – By Bissme S

She was
At her mother’s funeral

She can't bring
Herself to feel sad
Over her mother’s death

She can't bring
Herself to shed any tears
For her mother

If anything she simply
Feel nothing
About this woman
Who carried her for nine months
Who had given life to her

When she look at her mother's
Dead body in the coffin
She feels like she is looking
At a stranger

Once they were close
Once she had loved her mother
With all her heart
But not any more

Her father had changed
Their relationship
For the worse

Her father touched her
In places
That he shouldn’t

With tears
Streaming down from
Her eyes
She told her mother
About what her father
Did to her

Her mother
Refused to believe her
Her mother called her a liar
Her mother stressed that she knows
Her husband so well
That her husband will not do such
Unspeakable act

Her mother slapped her
Her mother told her never
Again to tell this fabricated story
Her mother told her never
Again to paint her husband
As a villain

Dad never stopped
Touching her
Till she was old enough
To move out
And to find her own place

Her mother kept blind eyes
To what ever her dad
Was doing to her
Her mother
Did absolutely nothing

Her mother needs to believe
That she had a perfect marriage
That she had a perfect husband
And her daughter had a perfect dad

Even on her deathbed,
Her mother refuses to see the truth

Now,
Can she be blamed
For not crying at
Her mother’s funeral
