Help me, Mommy

Well,
Mommy,
it’s that time of year again,
that I miss you the most.

So, I made your favorite
for your Birthday,
Mommy, 
one for you and one for me.

Can I ask you a question,
Mommy?

How does love come,
and
why does it have to go?

It is something my heart
really needs to know,

because, I’m hurting,
Mommy,
I’m really hurting,

and I am so confused,
so terribly confused.

Where is my place
in this world,
Mommy?

You told me I would know
when I found it,

and I found it and I knew,
and my skies were so blue,

but since you’ve been gone,
there has come, a new disease.

It’s called the internet,
Mommy,
and you see, it’s full of
wonderful things,

but there are bad things too,
Mommy,
things that can hurt a love,
once so true,

and it has stolen my dreams away,
and I don’t know which way to turn.

You told me I would know,
Mommy,
and I found it and I knew,

but after this internet thing,
Mommy
I don’t know what to do.

Can't you show me,
Mommy?

Can't you tell me,
Mommy?

Can't you help me,
Mommy?

Can't you help me understand.

I need to understand,
Mommy.
I really need to understand.
