Never held me when I was a child,
not there when I cried or even smiled,
wouldn't recognise my tiny face in the crowd.Mother carries you in the womb for 9 months -
you carried me for eight
maybe that is why you love me less.Worked everyday until I was four,
I always saw Nanna more,
wouldn't recognise my sorrow if I cried out loud.Live with mother until you're old -
you left me at fourteen
maybe that is why you love me less.Never talked to me when I was at school,
unless it was to enforce a rule,
wouldn't know whether I'm clever.Stay with mother through the years -
your absence causes my tears
maybe that is why you love me less.Cared for everyone except for me,
I don't expect your pity,
wouldn't know whether I'm happy.Mother comes the day you wed,
will you come when I'm dead?
Just because you love me less.
