Escaping to the Monsters

[shadowling]

This thought’s been with me for a while
It’s been praying on my mind
To you I keep meaning to address it
But I can’t find the courage or the time

Now I love you every second
And I miss you every single day
I’m scared when I look to next year
When we’ll be so much farther away

I love hearing your words spoken
I love being in your arms
But soon I’ll go away to college
Will you fallow to keep me safe from harm?

It’s not that I want to leave
Trust me that’s not it at all
It’s just that I want the freedom
That I can gain in those new halls

I thought I could make it better
Being finally parent free
But now I see a different picture
How far apart I’m making you and me

I’m scared that I will lose you
The thought’s been ravaging my mind
Can I go and still be with you
Or will leaving draw to dark a line

Please tell me what your thinking
I really want to know
Though I’m to scared to ask the question
Will you still love me if I go?

I'm almost going through the same thing. However, it's very likely that my mother would follow me down to college. Scary thought there...

This piece really got to me...my son is almost 1500 miles away from me and I miss him...no amount of miles or physical distance could ever sever you from your parents hearts...they will still be there for you...just an email or phone call away...beautiful piece!!!

nice job writing this poem. i think sometimes you need to go...do what you want. sometimes letting go of something is what ends up making you stronger in the end. if its meant to be...it'll happen. if its not..it is not for a reason, and that reason may be hard to understand at the present time, but one day itll make complete sense. hang in there and follow your heart!
