Dear Mom don’t you know?
That if I could tell you, I would?
If I believed that you could take this pain
and turn it into something else
then I would run to you. Only you.
Dear Mom don’t you know?
That if you asked the right question
I would answer in truth.
Only you would need the dictionary
to read my silent face.
Dear Mom don’t you know?
That I know your stories and how you feel
but if I compare to you, then I am a fool
Dear Mom please don’t talk
about your teenage exploits
and your adult feelings.
If you do, then I will know,
Mom is the most important.
Dear Mom please sit by
and wait
for me to accept your presence
for then I will talk.
Dear Mom please talk of love
for me and only me.
I lean on your love to stay alive.
Dear Mom don’t you know?
You can help me save myself.
As long as you are patient
with me.
