Mommy Please Don't Go

Mommy Please Don't Go

Mommy

Look at me

Please

I'm begging you just look at me

I don't want to forget your face

Because with all I've lost that's all that's left to me

Mommy

Please just tell me why you're doing this

I'm only four years old, am I really that much of nuisance?

Is it because I ignored you yesterday when you said it was time for bathing?

Is it because when I was supposed to be sleeping I was upstairs laughing?

Mommy

I'll listen next time I swear

Mommy

Please don't leave me, I'm scared

Who's going to tuck me in if you're not there?

I'll promise I'll do everything you say

See, I'm even brushing my hair

Mommy please don't walk away

I'm on knees, the stones are hurting, but I really want you to stay

I'm confused

You said you loved me yesterday

What changed today?

What did I do to make you feel this way?

I'm not mad mommy

You need a better a son

Don't worry, I understand.

Before you leave can I at least have a moment to hold your hand?

Thank you Pricess.

Now look what you have done: tear again. This is a touching piece, B.C. It is typical of young children to blame themselves for traumatic events like a parent leaving. So so sad. I want to take that innocent child in my arms and keep him save from the hurts of the world.
I like the form of your poem and your words paint a clear picture. Great writing.

Thanks Lourisa. THis one was a little more personal.

It breaks my heart, B.C, but I'm glad you could write about it. There's some healing power in writing. Writing in magical like that.
