Powerless.

I can't remember the last time I saw my mum cry, but I saw her cry today and it ripped me apart. She called me on my mobile while I was at a friends house and she was crying and sounded really upset, it took a while to calm her down to understand what she was saying. All I got was 'He's gone!' My friend whizzed me over to her house.

Her boyfriend (well ex now) left her today. He said he didn't want to hurt her by being unfaithful and sure as the sun rises he will be unfaithful. But she's hurt now. I didn't know what to say. As I held her, I could literally feel her heart breaking. I could hear it in her cry, cries that I've done many-a-time over losers.

All the times I've cried over my rubbish-ships and she's been there to rub my back and supply kleenex must've felt like this, nothing you can do, you just...POWERLESS!

Whilst listening to her I wanted to find him and pull his legs off like little boys do to daddy long legs. You string my mum along and get to jump in your hamper van and carry on breathing!!! I don't think so. But what could I do?? I don't have a car, I don't have a clue where he went, nor do I have the guts to go to prison and be felt up by some butch called MAD-DONNA.

I digress, all I could do is pass her tissue and rub her back and bring her a glass of Jamaican rum. Feed her all the lines that every brokenhearted person gets fed, 'Maybe he needs space, You'll find someone else, He wasn't worth it yadda yadda yadda.
I've had to leave her at home by herself (my brother is at Rollermotion disco) and I know she's sitting there crying and thinking all kinds of things.
Ohhhh, what to do.
