Is it as though I died,
And do they reminisce?
Or is my name forbidden,
To pass from their lips?
Do they think of me,
And wish I were there?
Do they miss my presence,
Am I even a passing care?
Does a tear ever drift down,
From within' their eye?
Are they aware how I miss them...
Of how much I cry?
Do they hold me in blame,
And such utter contempt?
Because I took control of me,
Or is my happiness exempt?
Will they ever accept me again,
And be involved in my life?
For I never stop being their mother,
...Just stopped being, the wife.
