Mommy don’t go without me
Don’t leave your baby behind
Who will tuck me in at night?
You’re my best friend
The one who makes me laugh
The only thing in my life
That makes everything happy
My friends complain about their moms
They don’t relate to them
We are not like that you are my cool mom
And yet now my heart is confused
My heart feels like its being ripped out
This heavy feeling on my chest
That will not let me breathe
All this because you are leaving me behind
Nobody could replace you
I feel so alone and lost
Mom, please make this pain go away
And you stay instead
Author notes
My mom is leaving to New Mexico and she has to leave me behind. For 6 month away from me. My mom is the coolest mom ever. We actually talk about everything and it has only been me and her forever. I don't have a dad, but my mom makes up for that. Sorry if this sounds like I am ranting but it hurts. People compare us to the Gilmore girls, lol.

bittersweet
Oh my...this is so sweet. And it's nice to find that someone else has a similar relationship with thier mom as I do. I'm sure my relationship doesn't match up to yours, but it is nice to know that not everyone has the stereotypical mother/daughter relationship.
This is a very sweet poem. It's full of love and need.
Nicley written.

Sweetheart,
This is such a said poem, but I can feel the love that you have for your mom. I'm really close to my mom too, she is pretty much my world, and I can see that your mom means a lot to you and that is such an amazing bond.
Dont worry, she will miss you while she is away and soon enough you will be back with her.
Beutifully written Sweetie, with love to you Darling,

awww,i know you will miss her.but she is leaving for what in reality is just a blip of your life.keep busy with school and friends.write letters to her.send emails.have fun.and you know there will be a cute present from New Mexico when she returns.lol
well,if you are on more often i will speak with you. -
That's funny. People are always telling my daughter and I that we act like the Gilmore Girls as well. I have yet to even watch the show, so I'm not sure if that's a true statement, but my smoochie girl and I are very close. I'm so sorry you will have to be apart. A mother/daughter bond is a forever thing. She will miss you and be just as heartbroken, I guarantee you. Think of this time as time to grow and mature and show your mom what a great job she has done raising you. You don't have be strong 100% of the time, but let her know that you behave just as you would if she were there. Try to dwell on the wonderful homecoming you will have. Your heart will be full of more joy than you can possibly contain. I am sure your mom will still keep very close tabs on you and she will be there for you as much as she possibly can under the circumstances because you are a very loved young lady. In the meantime, you just keep writing and expressing what you are feeling. It helps to get things out in the open where you can look at them and analyze them.

honey, your mum loves you so much, and this move is eating her up too. but it WILL be for the best in the long run. I know it's going to be hard, I know you're gonna miss her-but she's doing it for you both to have a better life. Yes, there are some months of hell ahead-but trust me, it will be so much better in the end. I am thinking of you hon
always here if u need to talk

My baby girl I have been reading this all day, speechless on what to say. You know I love you with all my heart. I am doing this to make a better life for you. Time will fly by and I promise every single night I will call you. And my soul will be with you, tucking you away. Never forget we are bad and strong and we overcome everything. I love you,
-
It kind of did help, I love you.

sweet and all, but really not very poetic. i can't believe people applauded this.
-
Aww... this is so sad
I'm really sorry to hear that. I know what it's like to be away from my mom for a long time and it really does suck. I wish me and my mom had a relationship like you two seem too. We do sometimes but yeah... i'm ranting now... sorry. All in all great write. 
-
This is so sweet to see a mom and child communicate on that level.I am positive your mom feels it as bad as you if not more.My daughter and I are like this as well.Best friends.She went across country to Az this summer and we missed each other terribly.
Great write...keep up the fabulous work.
Blessed be

my mother and i are like this too. only my mother left because she wanted to, and stayed gone. i envy you. a good write. keep it up.
-
Awwwww...this one makes me very sad for you and for your pain. My mother and i are also very close...even
though we do not live near each other presently...but
we have a special bond. As a matter of fact, i sent her
flowers today just because i wanted to make her smile,
because she means so much to me. My mother, my friend...
point is...i understand how much pain you must be in
and hope that the time apart flies by and is lessened
by knowing you will be reunited again soon.
My best wishes to you!

honey thank you for being willing to put your feelings down on paper. Did it help to write at all? Please know I love you and am thinking of you now and always. HUgs and kisses baby girl. I'm always here for you
-
Very Good.
This is a very good demonstration of a hurting child's feelings. I really like this. It's not very often that a child can say something like: "You just tore my feelings into a thousand pieces." Therefore it is good for young folk to be able to read stuff like this to help put their feelings into words. -
Nice
Nice piece, not my cup of tea but nice. -
Very Special Girl
Nina linda your mom adores you more then anything in this world. She is hurting with the thought of leaving you behind, have faith that she is in your heart always. Yes 6 months seems like such a long time for a little girl like you.
*HAPPY BIRTHDAY* Oct 5th, wow a teenager 13 years old.

Beautiful
This is a very emotional and teary poem. Awesome! -
Hey gilmore girl.. I almost cried while reading this, I know how you feel, not having mom tuck you in at night for 6 months, my mom is always around but we're not that close..
Anyway.. It'll be over before you know it baby, what matters is mom is in your heart and that is something distance cannot erase..
Lots of love from your big sis..

aww. this is heartbreaking. i really like the way that you put your emotions into the dense, tight poetry, yet made them seem expansive. Great poem.
Becky -
This is a good poem. No it doesnt sound you are ranting, you have a right to say how you feel. Its so good to get on with your parents, and when they go away it can be the hardest thing ever. This is a really good write. I bet those 6 months will go as quick as anything.
Well done -
great you have a relationship with your mom that way.think of the time away from each other as growing time then when she returns you'll have so much to talk about
-
"special"
Huh. So does that mean you're old enough to stay home by yourself? Because if it does, then you really shouldn't complain... I'm 17, and as long as I have a way to go buy and cook food, I'm good without my parents, but that's just me. -
6 MONTHS ISN'T THAT LONG AND YOU WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN ,
WHEN MY MOM DIED I THOUGH I COULD NOT GO ON BUT SOME HOW YOU DO SO YOU SEE 6 MONTHS ISN'T LONG AT ALL -
This is great! It's completely honest and the writing style is simple and easy to understand and relate to, which makes the piece all the more special. Your author comments were very sweet. But the poem can be read so many ways... the passing of a parent, a mother giving a child up for adoption, etc. That's why I like it, it can suit many different interpretations.

Aw
