Mommy, I'm His Baby

by Cari   Jan 2, 2006


When I close my eyes, I see his face.
When I sleep, I hear his voice.
When I cry, I feel his touch.
When I breathe, I smell the scent I know him by.
He may be gone but I will never forget what he means to me.
I'll keep him alive in my heart until he returns to me.
No matter who tells me to let this go, I won't. I can't. I don't want to.
So Mommy, tell me what you want. Tell me I can't talk to him. Tell me I'm grounded. Tell me he tells other girls he loves them too.
Mommy, tell me all I need is you. Tell me what you think I need to hear and watch me laugh at you.
I laugh because you think you know
me.
You think I'm your little girl.
I laugh because that's not so true.
He knows me, I'm his baby, I'm his, period.
My life belongs with him.
The only person who understands me you took away, Mommy.
You tell me I will find new love but I won't.
I love him and only him.
You tell me he is too old.
You tell me he lies.
I know he is a few years beyond my age and I know he lied to you. So you shut him out.
I lied to Mommy, do you hate me?
I let him in, he knows me and still wants me. He needs me like I need him.
So tell me Mommy, do you like to watch me cry? Do you like to see me suffer? You must because you took the only one who makes me happy away.
So tell me, do you know whats best for his baby?
Mommy, you aren't no Mommy of mine.

    Hmm i really liked this poem... it was very strong and powerful.. the only thing i can suggest to you is that you kinda overused the word mommy... which made it almost meaningless at the end of your poem... other than that you did a very nice job...

    Wow this is very emotion.. and its true even though some times parents think they are doing what is best for you sometimes it doesnt work out... this poem definatly expresses that emotion. I hope things work out for you but remember sometime an age gap doesnt matter but sometimes it does.. I'll just leave you to think about it.. Thank you for the comment on my poem I really appreciate it a great deal, and I really love the way this poem was written I can feel your frustration.

    Very interesting. It's like it's not your mother anymore, it's like she turned into another person and not letting you see him. But hunni, this was an amazing job and hopefully everything is going good. keep it up. keep on writing. love always and forever.

    ps: thanks for the comment means alot.

    Wow! that is wonderful Im glad you told me to read it. It has alot of saying in it..that you will love him no matter what nor no matter who gets in the way. Although she is your mom and she is just watching out for you. Love your work hun.

    Wo.. this is pretty powerful i gave you a five... but the ending kinda makes me a lil angry... i hope that if this is true for you you didnt tell your mother she isnt a mommy of yours... she may have hurt you and she may have taken something special away from you, but she's doing it becuase she thinks its best... shes raising you by what her parents taught her and what she knows... dont blame that on her.. shes doing the best that she can with what she was given... shes your mom and she always will be... just remember that if youd ont remember anything else ive told you
