Mama
Mama..
I don’t feel good.
I feel heavy,
I’m so thin.
Can you see my bones?
They’re purple.
Can you please hug me?
Please?
I can’t sleep.
It’s so hot,
I can’t stop shivering.
I don’t mean to do this.
I’m sorry.
Can I sleep in here tonight?
On the floor?
But it’s dark..
I’m sorry.
Mama,
Can you read to me?
I know I can read,
I just want you to read to me.
I’m so tired.
Please.
Mama.
Dad says you’re crazy,
I don’t believe him.
You’re not crazy.
You’re not.
You’re..
You..
You love me..
Right?
You’ll always love me.
You have to.
Mama..
Why are you crying like that?
I don’t understand.
Please love me.
You don’t have the hug me,
Or read to me,
Or let me sleep beside you,
Or even say it.
Just please.
Love me.
Mama.

Author's Note
You gave me this flesh, yet you won’t give me the blood. You said that you hate me, when will you try and take it back? It’s been years. I’m waiting. I’m always fucking waiting for you.
