SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE A MOTHERLESS CHILD

The boy grew up.

Always searching.

Always looking.

Always missing,

a vital dose

of

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

The boy grew up,

and it would show

that he was scarred

that he was charred

that he could be a STAR,

but always missing

a vital dose

of

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

The boy grew up

and the memories faded

his heart grew jaded,

cause other love never quite nourished

never quite flourished

it was always missing

a vital dose

of

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

sometimes I feel like a motherless child

because I was

because I am

and the older I grow, the less can remember her

and eventually all memories will be gone

and I will be left with nothing.

The only woman who will ever love me unconditionally for the rest of her life

was gone before I could understand

how much it would

help

me

now

Ashes nourish life.

Strength is born from pain.

The boy grew up

Stronger than most

Because no girl could

ever break his heart

the way his

first love

did.
