Mother Your voices: the ones who said 'the devil's coming, run' those mind breakers who told you to leave your frightened child alone in coldest night and forced your walk to save the world are losing now controlling you yes - but clutching my fears ever less Once to lisp words from my brokeness to mold the form of your absence only called my nine year old lost self to my front line wretched, no barriers to hide the wounds a lonely little soldier small against her enemy but now the tears never come a river dried forgotten flow my Mother I fear I am forgetting how to love you now Where can I find you? This demon-drenched disease it's robbed you of yourself yet I need you still - a nine year old who ever tries to cry her futile gun clogged with unshed grief Oh my Mother come heal these wounds give me permanent scars of maternal love please make my wasteland live I need the closure of schizophrenia's death 7.10.99 KM ------------------ ...he knows the needs of my passions, he sates the searching of my soul... |

K- this one calls out for some in-depth evaluation... but I have to do that later...haven't decided whether or not to bore anyone else here with my analysis, so I think I'll email it... Well written and expressed of course, I expect from you no less however! |
