Why?

from madly - Friday, December 07, 2007

I know a child could have written this and it was the lost child in me that did. When I listened to the song below, all the feelings I had for my mother came to life and the little girl in me wanted an answer, an answer that was never given to me. I loved my mother and I would have done anything, when I was young, to get her to see me and love me, even a little.


Tell me, I am asking
Questions
Can you explain?
Why?


Look at me, I am seeing
I remember
You forgot
Why?

Hear me, I am crying
Heart broken
Tears
Why?

Touch me, I am real
Breath, life
From you, me
Why?

Catch me, I am falling
Don’t leave
Wait
Why?

Heal me, I am dying
Can't you?
Please
Why?

Love me, I am hurting
Lie
I beg you
Why?

Mother, I am your daughter
Never loved
Forgotten
Why?

I love your poem madly.  It made me cry- and then I listened to that song, which I've heard a million times before, in a whole new way.  My parents have apologized to me many times.  It's too godamned late.  The damage has been done.

That song was very poignant. I can see why you liked it and also why it wrenched at your heart. The images as much as the lyrics.

As for your 'child's poem', while the rhyme scheme may not be iambic, it's simple, honest, and beautiful in it's own way. I liked this.

P.S. Parents in general suck, though I'm sure you know that already
