You must tell him that you are miserable,
That your addictions and your fists drove your family away
You must tell him that you haven't been touched for years
That whenever you look down at your hands all you can hear are the cries of the only woman who cared for you.
Tell him about the loneliness that eats away at your flesh daily
That without a woman your wounds are gaping more each day. You are ******.
You must teach him to cradle his woman, so she will cradle him back.
The touch of a woman who loves you is the most important thing in the world.
So, you must tell him to love his mother.
You never loved her, and look at you now.
You must tell him that you go weeks without opening your mouth, and the silence in your house is stale and bitter.
You must tell him that, you are stale. And bitter.
