Her screams are always heard at night
Harsh and filled with hate
Never stopped by my cries
Not until is was too late

Anger filled her scornful eyes
And fury shook her soul
She always took it out on me
Her repeated criticism took its toll

Mothers and daughters are supposed to love
And care for each other, too
But my mother's love for me
I never found, I never knew

I would protest and cry and plea
For her to stop her crazy rage
I showed her the scars from the pain I've fought
She just yelled more and turned away

Once she hit me and I backed off
Afraid of what she'd do next
That moment I knew she was really gone
In her head where pain never rests
