Darling Boy

Undiluted. Unhardened. Monkey arms swing by your side, You still love steam-trains 'cause of Thomas. Simple and pure as the dew are your desires, Your smile more real than the sun's first rays. A heart untainted ...but unrefined. Right now it never can be mine. My heart caves in. Baby boy, I'm not your mother, Puppy eyes beg me to smother You, your heart, our life together. An Oedipus complex we just can't weather. Darling I need more than you give We're not dead but we don't know how to live My darling, my baby, my love, my hope Ebbs quietly, softly away with my smile.
