I watched that one movie again
for the first time since I was a child
on my flight to see everyone but you
your worst nightmare come true.
a robot boy made to love his mother
and to want love back so desperately
knowing that she left him in a forest
pushed him to the ground and drove away
maybe if he changed, she would love him
maybe if he changed all that he was
every fiber of his being, please, Blue Fairy
but the heartbreaking part is this:
she never said she would love him
even if he became a real boy
a toy she could no longer control
made to act like a child, acting like one
so as we get our rental car and drive in the rain
to spend the weekend with everyone
talking about you as though you are dead
I think about you and the perfect day
we will never have.
