You Could've Saved Me

I Needed You

To the mother I needed you to be

I needed you to be there for me

I needed you to protect me

I needed you to hear me

I needed you to rescue me

I needed you to listen

I needed you to hear my cries

I needed you to read into my little eyes

I needed you to feel the darkness in the room

I needed you to stay close and not run

I needed you to see my scars

I needed you to notice

I needed you to feel empty

I needed you to care

I needed you to stop him

I needed you to open your eyes

I needed you to not sleep so well at night

I needed you to know that something wasn’t right

I needed you to open that door

I needed you to not work so much

I needed you to notice what only a mother would’ve

I needed you to save me

I needed you to care

I needed you to mother

I needed you to be there
