MAMA

Things you make me Feel
Late last night, I took a double shot
One to the things I need yet never get
And another to the things I see yet never touch.
And so I thought;
Of the things you make me feel
My heart feels and my soul knows
‘Tis my home, my place and haven.
So strange I feel, ache and desire all at once
What this might be, I know not
Too new to last and assess, yet too rare to break
So I sit and ponder
A bird, seeking air, home and a nest
In a rather arid cruel earth.
It troubles my mind and yet completes my heart
This woman built in perfect skin and body
It kills me to wait yet gives me life, the hope of meeting you again
Now I know why
With love comes death and more death
For I feel my life oozing out my bones
Craving certainty and reassurance yet never find.
Forgive me, if my heart stops beating
Because for you I’ve lived and for you I will die
So forget the words you need
And just tell the word you know and have
How this became, whether by eye, heart or ear I know not
But my breath for you I hold and for you I feel all this joy and pain
So my heart for you I rip out
Take, my dear
Do with it, as thou may.
