I Never Could Lie To Momma by Fkaay

So momma looked straight into my eyes today
Blankly staring back trying to hide the ache tormenting me in side
"L-Look a-a-way"
The broken voice from deep within me stuttered
The voice of a wounded child in need of comfort
But Momma is wise
And wise is she who gave birth to me

See she has this tendency to try pinch the naughtiness out of me
An old habit I've grown to love
An old habit I've grown to miss
One I currently need

Today she took by my cheeks and wiped my tears
She rocked me back and forth
Like she used to before I turned thirteen
A ride that said I KNOW you're in pain
Fear not For I understand
I never could lie to momma.

"I apologise to being weak mama
For letting someone play my heart
Like it was done to you by papa
Im sorry I've failed to be like you
To play my cards close to my chest nd open up to a few
Im letting heartache break me down
Adding more wrinkles to the beauty you've gifted be with
Im sorry im letting you down
I trust too easily
I see that now
I let my guard down
I get that now
Teach me how to be like you once more mama
I promise this time to pay more attention"

But momma understands my pain
She didnt have to ask me if Im hurt
I repeat
I never could lie to mamma
Whether it was stealing from the sugar bowl
Or a forged signature on a C-minus test

Today
She took me by my stained cheeks
Wiped off the mascara she hates me to wear
She hates all things artificial on my face
And guranteed me it'll all be ok
With a voice spilling  & churning with love
A touch slowly stroking my hair
She whispered
"You never listen
But fear not
Mama is here"
