Mumma broke my heart.

Mumma broke my heart talks about the struggles I had to deal with prior to my mum passing away early December in 2015. I was her little princess till she discovered my preference in lovers.

Every little girl wants to be a princess,
Holding mumma’s hand forever,
but one-day things do change,
we discover ourselves and boy it changes.

 

Never in my life did I imagine this,

Graduating without you there,

Moving on in life to discover who I am,

Learning to love another.

 

They say a girl’s daddy is the first to break their heart,

But in my case mumma, you did it first.
All I asked for was your acceptance,

Yet even that seemed to be too much.

 

One day you were there,

The next minute you were gone,
a part of my life,

Taken by God so soon.

 

No one deserves to suffer,

The way I knew you felt on the inside.

You didn’t have to cry,

For me to notice the signs

 

You were hurting badly,

Feeling betrayed by many.

Never once did I mean to hurt you,

I was just trying to be myself.

 

Who I loved shouldn’t have mattered,

I was still that little princess.

All that changed was I wasn’t afraid,
I wasn’t afraid to be me anymore.

 

I’m sorry to admit that I disappointed you,

Your perfect little princess,

She grew up,

She learnt to love.

 

Even though her heart was broken to start with.

So mumma, be proud of your little princess,

Even though you broke her heart to start with,
She still moved on.

 

She moved on and became happy.
