You gave me away

before I had a chance to know

I needed you so.

you left you

fighting with yourself inside of me

You clipped my wings

before I could fly

then you planted a searching gene

into my cells

A DNA molecule made up of lookings-for-you

I looked then found

only to totally lose

because you tossed your life away

before I ever had a chance to meet you

I can not even say

Good Night Dear Mother

for you left me and the world behind

when I couldn t look

And I m still fighting with myself

believing I m defending

the part of me that is you...
