A look of insanity bled across her face,
for I took the only sanity she had left.

This was the night that I looked at my mother,
the night I scared her half to death.

I destroyed all of the emotion,
that she showed me from within.

As the look she gave me burned my soul,
She stated she would never trust me again.

Her terrified eyes and shivering hands,
detatched her her heart from mine.

"I'm sorry", were the only words I spoke,
But deep within, she thought I was lying.

I scared her, hurt her, and terrified her,
all within the same night.

But at the time, what she knew I thought,
Was that what I did was right.

It was cold, and lonley,
although she was right there by my side.

I just couldnt say I was wrong,
i just wouldn't hurt my pride.

I looked at my mother and she looked at me,
We said nothing,
because nothing was left.

All in the night I destroyed her,
The night I scared my mother half to death.
