I don't know unconditional love
my mother said she loved me
but how can you trust someone
who ran out on you with a pervert

It has been years now
and I can finally feel it
the silt at the bottom stir when the water is low

now when she emails me incoherence
and says how she misses and cares about us

you can't help but be angry
you can try ignore it,
and you get away with it
when the confidence has rained in
