You held me long within you
From the moment I grew inside you
You knew me and I knew you
As I thrived within your womb
Every day to grow and move
You felt me and I felt you
As one with you so long
Every breath, your voice your song
I loved you and you loved me
My time here was too fleeting
So short our earthside meeting
But you knew me and I knew you
As you gazed upon my face
And held on to hope with grace
You loved me and I heard you
I felt each beat of your heart
Our love can never be torn apart
My mummy you will always be
I love you and you love me

Even though we are no longer joined
No longer sharing the same oxygen
the same blood
the same body.
Still you are a part of me
and no matter how far
how much time passess by
you will always, always, always be

From newborn baby in my arms
to toddler with a smile that steals my heart
to child who has a zest for life
to teen that causes so much strife
as young adult I had to let you go
just a little, I'm still here you know

I watch you striding forth with pride
My love I can't contain or hide
You are my gifts, my life, my heart
We will never truly be apart
My child this love is like no other
the boundless, endless love of a Mother

Sometimes we scream
sometimes we shout
sometimes we don't talk at all
sometimes I'm sure you hate me
sometimes you're really cool
sometimes we laugh
sometimes we cry
sometimes we totally get it
sometimes you make me oh so proud
sometimes I do forget it
sometimes I wish you were still small
my daughter now so grown
no matter what - I love you so
and that I have always known

My hippy love, my hippy love
so fluorescent and so cool
you drift around all decked in flowers
so sweet and fanciful

Underlying scent of frankincense
a smell so soft and hazy
your peaceful diplomatic ways
your love of life so crazy

You walked out of my life
away from my love
having cheated, betrayed and lied
Alone I sat where last night we'd loved
ripped apart and broken inside

I smelt the pillow
with deepest breath
it was you my beautiful you
I knew that your scent would fade away
there was nothing I could do

How could a few hours
change everything?
I still tasted your lips upon mine
Last night you had held me and loved me
and everything had been just fine

A revelation - just one revelation
ripped apart all we'd built
all we'd shared
but nothing could ever be the same
after all had been declared

Ignorance is bliss they say
Should I have spared you
all this pain?
It's not just you that's hurting now
and I am the one to blame.

Into your arms I fall
Safe from harm
so warm
Wrapped up
so blissfully
Legs and arms entwined

In your eyes I lose my self
Lost and floating
dreaming
Sharing thoughts
and fears
Gazing deep into your soul

In your heart I trust
Loved up and hopeful
A never ending smile
Spending my life long moments
my love my life
Tangled with you
