Motherly Love
A mother's instinct is to sense when her child is in need.
So can you sense that I need you?
Like this needle in my vein, or a pipe to my lips.
I am SCREAMING!
Can you hear me?
I am calling out for you, are you listening?
Can you hear the Pain in my voice While I Beg for you?
I am frying! Like a log in a Fire I am Burning!
Can you smell the Skin on My Body Melting?
SAVE ME!
Can you Smell my Fear?
Like the Sharks smell my blood?
I AM DROWNING!
Can you See me?
I AM SINKING!
Where are you?
I need you.
You are the forbidden fruit in my World.
I imagine you must be sweet.
Mmm, I can taste it, Longing for it, yearning!
Like this needle in my Vein.
I NoW feel you present! I can almost see you! I push the needle further in.... Ahh.
I see you now, Your touch on my shoulder, the Warmth I expected, It is Perfection!
The Sugar to my Cane, I am No Longer Cripple!
The Joy of your Love
The Fire in my Blood,
I LOVE YOU!
So why are you leaving?
Can't you see without you I am fading?
I'll disappear if you go.
Stay! I beg you!
I'll change if I have to!
I'll pretend to be your Ideal daughter, I promise! Mommy I love you!
Where are you going?
Can't you hear me?
I Need You!
Please! WAIT! can I come With You?
Just give me a moment
I BEG You! Wait!
I'll Find a Stable Vein I Swear!
Mommy don't leave me! I Need you.
Slow down! I'm trying as fas as I can, Just give me a second...
FINALLY
The needle penetrates my weak vein.
The rush of warmth is amazing, For I Know I will See You Soon.
I open My Eyes, but You are Gone.
Can't you sense that I need you?
I will chase the manifestation of you.
I will see you again!
Just let me Find a Stable Vein.
Mommy, can't you understand that I Need You?
Put this needle in my vein Just to BE WitH YoU.
Your touch WaS Perfection, And untiL I feel it again,
I WilL KeeP this needle in my Vein.
So that maybe Someday,
You Will Sense that I need You.
