I've lost my independence caring for you

How do I explain the love I have for my son? I cannot exist without him anymore.


I have to kiss your check
once you fall asleep.
Watch your chest rise
and wait to hear you sigh.
Curl your hand around
my single finger, I don't
mind if your nails bite.
I watch your lids fight
before your drool pools
all over my favourite top.
The curdled milk will stain
the pink ribs but I cannot
move.

I hold you and prove to
never leave you. Try not to picutre
my previous born. You cry
at night and I cry with you.
Roll your tongue to the sky,
as colour changes on your
face. I'm rocking even
if your father is holding you.
I no longer exist without you.
