What could make me
Stop loving
My daughters
Or stop loving
My mother
Or stop loving
My sister
Or stop loving
All the rest of the
People I once held
So close to my heart
And the answer flares
In front of me
I guess I just
Don't know how
To do it
I wonder what could make me
Want to push them out of my life
Why they couldn't be bothered to
Learn about my disease
Why they couldn't be bothered to
Attend one Narc-Anon meeting
Why I wasn't as important to them
As they were to me
I guess I just
Don't know why
They did it
I sit and remember
All the things that have happened
That have led me to this place
And I still don't understand how
A person can just stop
Loving someone
That gave them life
That birthed you and raised you
That grew up beside you
And loved you every day
From then until forever
But I've learned love
Shouldn't come
With a set of conditions
And I wish I'd seen mine
Before my contract was up
If there is any way to love
That isn't unconditionally
I guess I just
Don't know how
