Which death is less painful, tell me mommy-
choking or thirst?
You hold me in your arms,
my hair leaves traces in your palms,
you press me closer,
afraid for my mood to change.
I ask you to heal my inner child
but you don’t, because I’m mute.
So just don’t tell me it’s dark outside
and we need to rest our beautiful minds,
for the next day I will close the gates again,
let out only my vanity
until you forget my humanity;
until I’m safe in my own head,
alone but safe,
maybe a little more than in your arms.

Wow this is so sad. Just know that our parents, although seemingly hard to talk to, truly love us and want the best for us. I lost my mom and would give anything to be able to talk to her again and just pour my love onto her. But if we take the first step, then we may be able to discover that it really wasn't as hard as it appeared. Either way, nicely done!
I think we want to open up to them, but the problem is in us not being able to trust people. Anyway, thank you, always enjoy your feedback!
I think sometimes the hardest relationships to understand are those of parents and children. My mom has been gone for 31 years and there are still those moments of regret, softened only a little by age. I wish I'd talked to her more about who she was, and what she had wanted from life. It's never too late to have that conversation. You never know what you might share. Very well done!
Thank you so much for the advice and amazing feedback!!
My pleasure Dearheart.
So sad, she loves you,and is probably going through something and don't want to scare or worry you
As a mom myself, sometimes it's hard to talk to our children because,as much as we love,we don't want to think about our child hurting,it makes us think that we failed as a mom,but try to talk to her,you might be surprised by what she says.
I always try to understand her point of view, but sometimes when I manage to open up she has this miserable look on her face that makes me feel helpless and weak. Maybe it's because she thinks she has failed as you said... Nevertheless, thank you for your comment!
Just don't give up, maybe write her a letter telling her how you feel
