Would Of Been There Poem by Donna Byrne

It's late at night
I'm lying in bed
With all these thoughts running through my head
What happened to you?
What went wrong?
What made you feel this way?
Was it me?
Did I not belong?
You say you left because you loved me
The way you showed it was funny
If you love someone you stay around
Especially if it's your child
All the things that you told me
Its all been a pack of lies
You didn't love me
You didn't care
If you did
You would have been there

Written after I met my mother for the 1st time in 17yrs after she walked out on me and my father when i was a baby
