Milk and Snow
I wake up, tummy aching
Mommy please come over and feed me
I wish I could, but I can’t just stop and let you be
Cause right now I feel a fatigue and alone wouldn’t you agree
You are over there on the coffee table snorting those flakes
Not realizing I am over here helpless and awake
High as a kite, I scream in famishment with all my might
I am in this crib drowning in my own waters, where I can barely breathe
Red itchy circles surrounding all over my body
They blister, crack, and feel all so painful
You first take a glance, then ignore me
Do you hate me mommy?
Why are you neglecting me?
I promise I will be a good suckling
Does the misery give you a chuckling?
I am just responding to what my body needs, the nutrition drawing from thou chest
Put down the straw for my feed, and I will rest
But instead you focus more on the symmetry of those lines
As I lay here in my crib sucking on my digits
You’re knocked out prepping for your next hit
Tell me Mommy, do you plan on abandoning, neglecting, or abusing me
Place a child in a part of the world I should never see
If you didn’t want me why did you have me, all I am is the result of your bad choice
Pretending I’m not there as my diaper lays moist
More worried about buying the snow, and hoping to not develop a tolerate
While I’m all alone starting to dehydrate
But I still wait for when you open your eyes and realize I am the only high you ever need
Giving me the warmth, love, and my feed
Removing that white powdered mask
But until then, I still ask
Do you hate me mommy?
Do you love me at all?
I wake up, head aching
My poor baby crying in need of a feed
I wish I could, but I can’t have to go get my fix
Cause right now I feel fatigue and emotions are all mix
Setting up on the coffee table about to snuffle some blow
Noticing you are over there sorry for the show
You’re loud alright, but my euphoria just feels so right
Baby I just need to lay down on the couch to get full-body stimulation
Red burning marks surrounding my fingers and lips right now
They blister, crack, and feel all so tender
I take a glance now, and I see you
Mommy loves you baby
I don’t want to neglect you
I promise I will provide you nursing
Hearing your misery is my cursing
I am just responding to what my body craves, the addiction drawing from thy bag
Sweetie shush please stop crying, so I can drag
But instead you focus on me with those small innocent eyes
As I sit here on the couch starting up my hit
Pass out until the next lit
Listen baby, I don’t plan on abandoning, neglecting, or abusing you
Giving you everything in the world is long over due
You were the best choice I made and all that I have, despite the choices in the past
Pretending I’m a good mom and this won’t last
Can’t focus on providing you milk, and avoid the development of a with drawl
While you cry and I am alone about to fall
I now wait for when you open your eyes and realize I am the only one you ever need
Giving you the warmth, love, and fresh feed
Waiting until that very day
But until then, I will say
Mommy does not hate you
Mommy loves you
