Dedicated to The Phantom Parisienne and her wonderful muse. Without her
bringing Little Erik to life for me this poem would not be possible. Yet
another conversation poem that woke me from my sleep, I hope you enjoy.
But I Love You
Mama
Why don't you
Ever hug me
Don't you see
I need your hugs
More than anything
Erik
You are my son
And I love you on some level
Because of that fact
But never again
Ask me to hug you
You will only end up disappointed
But Mama
I love you
Will you please let me hug you
No Erik
You must never
Try to do that
Or ask me that again
You will only be disappointed
Please Mama
Can I give you a kiss
Just one kiss
And I will never
Ask for anything ever again
Oh Erik
Why are you making this so hard
I am your mother
But I will never want
To hug or kiss you
It is just the way things are
Please try to understand
But Mama
I love you
Why can't you love me too
Erik
I do love you on some level
But only because you are my son
It is only a love born out of instinct
Not the love you want
So please for me
Stop searching for something you'll never have
