Nurse me

So...oooth me

Squ...eeeze me

Kiss me

 

Wash my face

Comb my hair

Fix my laces

Straighten my tie

 

                     Hold my hand

 

Walk me to school

Throw a tearful wave

Catch a nervous look

Release a maternal smile

 

Search my tongue

For a lie

Scrub it clean

When I'm wrong

 

Sneak a peek

On my facebook

Deny you didn't

Cos you know you shouldn't

 

                      Let the cord stretch...Mama !

 

Listen !

 

To the brush strokes

     Choking

          Poking the canvas

               Thrashing at the voices

 

Choices,  everywhere, everyplace

 

                    Above

Left                                      Right

                    Centre

 

                    Below

 

Blow it all away

     Another day

          Another wave

               Not bye, bye

 

But

 

Circles, circles

     Jagged, jagged

          Stabbing, stabbing

               At my head

 

Chains

     Knawing

          Sawing

               At my street cred

 

The thread's forever

     Pecking

          Checking

               Then checking

 

Why?

 

The sky's green

The moon's a balloon

The earth's square

And the stairway to heaven has vaporised

 

What's new

     Chill !

          I'm cool !

 

Like a dove I'll fly

Like an eagle I'll soar

With tears in your eyes

This lion will roarrrrr !

 

Open doors

Fall down stairs

Crawl on floors

And wriggle free from snares

 

Break hearts

Get a tattoo

Need a kick up the arse

 

But Mama... I will always love you !
