Come play with me Mommy! You can be my favorite barbie And I'll play with the ugly one If you like... Come play with me, Mommy! We can laugh and be happy Just like When Daddy was alive! No answer. Just tears. Come play with me, Mommy! Forget that old mean man That's drinking downstairs And smoking cigerettes. We can forget him, Forever! Come play with me, Mommy. Come play ponies and Live in a world Where we understand The whinnies and grunts! No answer. Just another swig Of her wine cooler. Come play with me, Mom. Come sit on Gramma's cold Hard floor And close your eyes And pretend all's well! Come on, Mom. Come play with me. I swear I'll be good And try my best to make you smile. No answer, Just an annoyed flick Of her rusted hand. Mom, come look at my A, And this smiley sticker That the teacher gave me. Why can't you Look like that? Where did your smiles go? Come talk with me, Mom. Come tell me what's wrong, And hug me when I tell you How much I hate you. Apologize, Mom. "Come to bed with me, Sexy" He said. And I did. "Are you going to hit That or what?" He asked. And I did. "Drink up, little lady, Before it gets warm," He said. And I did. "The back seat's fine, Just clear out that junk And lay down," He said. And I did. Come look at me, Mom. Come see what you've done. Look at who I am. Don't worry, I won't hide anything. You can see every scar Every tear Every drop of blood. I want you to see. Come on, Mom. Come face what you've created. Come watch me as I cry, As I hit the bong, As I pass out drunk In a stranger's bed. Take a look And see I'm you. Thanks, mom. *Note: Glad to report that's all in the past, and I'm living my own life, now and forever.* [This message has been edited by KoKo (10-28-2003 12:31 AM).] |

this is powerful... I thank God I've not gone through most of that. And I live my own life... I hate that that was in your past, but I'm glad things are different now. Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |
