Mommie

He hurts me, mommie 
Can you help me 
Set me free 
From this pain

Where I don't wanna be
Let me fly with the angels 
Drift on clouds past the moon

I love you mommie  
But I don't want to stay 
And live in this pain every day 

He hurts me, mommie 
Can you help me
Help me, pass away

A pain not of body but of soul complaining mommie how to become set free. It's philosophical too. Wonderfully done. Loved always, bl

If I were mommies then i'd say; don't let love treat you this way.make demands. Don't be afraid to display.men love love emotionaly displayed. Bring him in line he'll understand. If he loves you he'll abide.

The people who plea for this every day are counted in myriads! A tragedy disguised in blessing is seen, because of the writing, here. Wonderful writing!

Obscurely, the child suffers so. It's asking just to be let go. Mommie, it hurts more each day. Too much that I just can't stay. I love you mommie, I love you true. But I just don't know what I can do. May this just be a poem Debbie. Personally that is. But sadly, this reality lives with young and old alike. May God's grace be with you always. <3 :)

this seems so tragic, as if it is a small child that has been kidnapped by a child abuser? It would be awful to have this happen to one of your kids.
