A/N: This fic will be a group of poems about the women in Erik's life in chronological order. This one is of his mother, Madeline.

You look down at me

And scowl at what you see

A face of terror

A face of pain

But that is not all

You also see failure

Your failure

To bring me into the world

Since the night of my birth

You fear me

As you fear the spiders

Who too have no saying in there appearance

So...how was the first one? Next chapter: Marie Perault: An Angel of Understanding
