Mom:

Remember how you said yesterday that I have probably hated you more than I have ever hated anyone, and I said, yea, but I have also loved you more than I have ever loved anyone? Well, I decided to write about it. I think it is true for every kid who was or is unattached, but finally got better. I hope you understand and I hope you like it.

Love, Starla

I hated you more than I ever hated anyone,
I loved you more than I ever loved anyone

I mistrusted you more than I ever mistrusted anyone,
I trusted you more than I have trusted anyone.

You were in my scariest nightmares,
You were in my best dreams.

You were my worst enemy,
You were my best friend.

I wanted to kill you more than I ever wanted to kill anyone,
I wanted to protect you more than I ever wanted to protect anyone.

I wanted to make you more mad than I ever wanted to make anyone,
I wanted to please you more than I ever wanted to please anyone.

You were my destroyer,
You were my architect.

You were my friend.
Now you are my mother and without you,

I would be nothing.
