I gave my heart away

Mommy issues.

Searching for acceptance, approval, and love

I gave my heart away.

I gave my heart away so many times.

Searching for acceptance, approval, and love

My mommy didn’t love me

At least not in all the ways that I craved

It was never enough, or at least that is what she would say.

Only to be rejected because I was never enough.

She was never able to save me from myself.

I looked for her, to cherish, to love.

I loved her, but she never satisfied.

She never loved me whole.

Never saved me from myself!

I loved her and she loved me but she never satisfied.

Her love was everything I thought I needed.

I loved her but she never satisfied.

Never completely, never selflessly.

Her love was never enough.

I loved her, but she never pleased me,

Never loved me fully.

She loved me well, but not like YOU. 

Never wholeheartedly or selflessly.

She didn’t save me from myself, from my dark, gloomy moments.
