It is what I do since the 50's of my 18 years — Mummy, do you cry when you walk away and leave me crying here (too?) There were wars where we fought it out, like angry soldiers without cause — without loyalty... So mummy, you should know, I will forever be loyal to you even when I tell you I am upset with you, even when you are digging your claws so cluelessly into my throat — A fortune teller once told you, you told me, that I didn't know, sometimes, if you loved me; You said then, "There's no way, right?" like you weren't sure, and I said, "Of course not." I did not lie, I know. (even when my nightmares were of you forgetting me) Like a person waking up from a car crash, I know I have all my limbs, I just don't remember, and I am just scared.
