I’ll Let Go Eventually

You expected me a week ago

But here I am still clinging to you

I don’t want to let go yet

For the world might hurt me to get to you.

But I know it is inevitable

And I’ll have to let go soon

But mum I don’t want to

For the warmth you give me

I’ll find nowhere else.

We will never have a connection

Like the one we developed over these months

But maybe it will be stronger

Even when we’re not literally connected.

So I’ll see you soon mum

And I hope daddy is happy to see me

Because I know when I get out

I’ll scream and cry

For a connection broken.

When I first open my eyes

I hope to see you,

The person I’ve been connected with

For so many months.

And give me a pretty name,

And love my eyes,

Because I’ve spent so long in the dark,

The light might make me seem ethereal.
