forsaken

I woke after dark today
I think I've done something to upset the stars again
The moon won't return my calls
But I deserve it
I deserve it all
And if you told me
That it would be this hard
I never would have let my mother put me down
I'd make her hold me
And woe betide if one of my selfish feet
Touched the ground
My plants are mad at me
They say
That I'm an unfit mother
And they should be taken away
My darlings, I'm so sorry
That's all on me
It was I who made you stay
Cause I was lonely
Am I the only one
To feel this way
I deserve it all the same
And if you told me
That it would be this hard
I never would have let my mother put me down
I'd make her hold me
And woe betide if one of my selfish feet
Touched the ground
And if you told me
That life would go downhill
I would have made her hold me
Til her bones were tired
Better her than I
And woe betide
That one of my
Selfish feet touched the ground
