Mama and the Radiator
Emma Copp
Mama, where did I go wrong?
You told me I was good
Said I could do anything
I don't do what I should
Mama couldn't see I was
Suspended in the air
Breathing in the rush
To cut the thread and plummet there
Mama oh you'd cry
You'd cry with all your might
To see me as I am, but
Mama don't you know
My heartsick, foolish soul--
You did all that you can
