Forgetting Thy Mother


Have you no sense to reign in your brain? She who has concieved you for those nine months deserves utmost respect Forgetting thy mother? One must be insane to turn backs toward your beginning she who nourished your bones until the age of responsibility I would gladly bargain my life for the return of that which kept me whole walk in these elevens from sunrise to sunset awake come morning with no breast to lay your head upon the absense of your "goddess" would place a whole in your heart one so wretched and distorted that a complete heartbeat can no longer be rendered place your hand to my chest feel this beat have you ever felt something so incomplete? My inly wish is to lay eyes upon her living breathing I would wrap my arms around her for a final hug converse hear her voice once more just a word it is hard living the life of a motherless child Forgetting thy mother?
