OGW this is for you. Happy Phantom Friday. This poem is from Susan Kay's
novel. Hope you enjoy and review because from now on I will not write
another poem until I have at least one review. PS OGW you do not count and
you know why.
Internal Struggle
I sit by her bedside
For the first time in my life
But she is dead
My own mother lies before me
Looking old beyond her years
Part of me wants to kiss her
And part of me refuses to
The little boy inside me
Is still looking for that kiss
That one sign of motherly love
But I am no longer that little boy
Her little demon child
No, now I am grown
And I should no longer need her kiss
But deep down inside I'm still that same little boy
Starving for her love and attention
My internal struggle rages on
As she lies there unaware
Of what she did to me
And for her sake I leave once again, never to return
Once again without her kiss
For I would never take from her in death
What she would never grant me in life
And as I walk out the door for the last time
The little boy inside me begins to slowly die
