You were the one chosen to carry me
You were the one capable of loving me
You were the one to raise me
You were the one to enlighten me,
Brighten my days,
Show me right from wrong
But then
You let me go
When people said
"This is your child'
All you said was "So"
I always wonder
Who are you?
Where are you?
The woman who's blood
is pumping through my veins
The woman with the
love that has limits
I don't know you
Will I ever?
Only you can answer that
Because you left me
Abandoned!
