Mum, why are you doing it ??

Why does she do it
It hurts me so much
I need her here
With her warm, special touch

Wherever she goes
It's making her smile
But when she gets home
It fades for a while

I feel so lonely
Like no-one does care
I want to shout out
And cry in despair

I miss her so much
What should i do
I need a 'mum's' love
Why can't i get it off you???
