Out Of Touch

by Chloe-Louise Pollard aged 14

I’m on my bedroom floor
I’m gasping for breath
Mum look at me now I’m a broken-down wreck

I wipe away my tears
You’re pleading on your knees
What went wrong through the years
Baby please

Mumma open your eyes
I was dying inside
Now I’m done asking why

You fell apart
As I took control
You broke my heart
And I filled the hole

You come back around with your “I’m sorry” “It’s okay”
Now that I’m finally found I don’t wanna be part of this game that you play

Mumma wake up
I was breaking down
Where were you mum
Nowhere to be found

Better late than never you used to say
But forever felt like a lifetime for the price I had to pay

Can’t be alone
Can’t have sharps
Look what you’ve done
I’m drowning in the dark

Mumma open your eyes
I can barely hold on
I can’t save us this time
we’re too far gone

I thought as time went on
I’d forgive you
But it seems I was wrong

You look like yourself
But you’re someone else
I don’t know you anymore

Now you’re just a memory
A tape I often replay
Mumma I do miss you
I hope we meet again one day.
