My darling loving mother,
With words I cannot say
How very much I miss you
As I sit in my lab today.
My thoughts wander through the years
To when we weren't apart,
To when you held me tightly
And heard the beating of my heart.
I remember when I hugged you,
The feel against my skin,
And now I just wish so bad
That you were here again.
For now you are more distant
Than the farthest, coldest star,
And it makes me want to scream
To think that you're so far.
You taught me to do rightly,
That there are tasks that I must do,
And I carry your words with me
Stuck in my brains like glue.
Maybe one day we'll meet again
When my task on this world is done,
The invasions are completed
And this stupid war is won.
Until then I just miss you,
With every organ I possess,
And the loss and pain without you
Is like a deep hole in my chest.
One day, Mother, I'll see you,
And then I'll be consumed
With joy to overwhelm this feeling
Of horrible, missing-doom,
And you'll hold me to you once again
And keep me safe from harm.
But until then, I'll just miss you...
My cold, unfeeling robot arm.
...Okay, show of hands, who thought this was Dib? ;-) Anyway, not sure how this turned out...could have probably been less schmatzy and more Zimmy. Anyway, Happy Mother's Day, please review!
