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.
