Failure to Communicate

by Ebonyavon


My mother never listens
	My daughter won’t talk to me
I can’t tell her what I’m going to do
	I have this gut feeling…
She wouldn’t understand
	I know what’s going on
If only she could help me
	If only she would let me help her
It’s my responsibility, my mistake
	She doesn’t have to do this alone
I’m patiently waiting for morning
	Tomorrow my daughter will have an   
        abortion
My decision has been made
	I wish she would reconsider
There is no one here to hold me
	I wish I could hold my child
Tonight I pray for forgiveness
	Tonight I pray for forgiveness
