I want to know

I want to know

Did you want me?

Did you hold me?

was i ever kissed?

Were you ever smiling?

do you miss me?

Did you look away?

was i left alone?

fending for myself?

didn't you ever want to know? 

what are your thoughts?

why wont you get well?

can't i have a mother?

Do i get a choice?

does the hurt ever go away?

can i wish you dead?

if you passed would anyone care?

why do this to your self?

don't you get tired of it? 

why was i lucky enough

to never have a mother?

very good channeling of emotion. it's really well done in that its all questions because I suppose that's what you're left with in that situation. i think out of your poems that ive read, this one ranks very high not only for the technique, but for the awesome unification of technique and content. i like it.

Wow, it makes me think of some one whose life has just passed them by in one big flash and they never really realized what they had and are just now trying to catch up on everything. this is great, it makes you appreciate what you have in life instead of taking it for granted. correct me if you had a different meaning in mind for this poem. Either way, a wonderful writing!

This is wonderfully hard hitting! Potently so!
The poem leaves the reader with empathy, a great work love!

your words are saturated with bittersweet tears... pain... sadness... longing... spite... yet you call yourself lucky. great write!

Pushed to ponder, whatever ails mother affects child in ways that hurt for a lifetime, and not just the lifetime of ill mother. Whatever happened in your case, I'm so sorry. So many unanswered questions.
