Maman Cherie 
How you love me with your hateful eyes
How your hugs despise
Me 
How you speak with a hiss to confide in me 
How you smile at me with your slithering tongue 
And how beautiful your jealousy is of me
Adoring 
How much better I am than you 
How my foolishness fools me 
To think that you love me 
When apparently 
Your deathly gaze of love wasn't enough to tell me 
Empty promises not enough to show me 
Not until I'm beaten and bruised 
Do I know how much you think of me 
Manan cherie 
You will never see higher in me 
Especially
Since what was planned for me 
Was to be no more than dirt to thee 
See me 
Hear me clear
One day you'll know the thought of fear 
Of losing me.

Maman Cherie
Here's to thinking so less of me.
