Mothers and Daughters

moody and blue
whatever became of you
somedays i can't even
remember
that i know you

how we used to
laugh and play
holding hands
throughout
most of our yesterdays

your dreams
were splashes of sunshine
pillars of hope
creating
visions of imaginary time

now, your reality
shivers with fear
you push me away
mindless
of my bitter tears

mothers and daughters
like forces of electricity
they unite then divide
magnetism
streams  of love and malicity

without warning
you jolt our being 
creating chaos
generating
sorrow without any meaning

lashing out
you yell and stare
spilling your anger
negating
the urgency to care

like a tornado
with a bitter torment
you swirl us around 
enhancing
your apathy and contempt

finally, caressing moments
balance the injuries and the pain
we hold on and hug one anothet
yearning 
for our love to forever be the same
