(2015)
Restless As I lay in bed Trying to fall asleep These are my clues I might be low
I am sorry That I cannot be happier I know that I’d be prettier If I smiled If I could smile
Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly
How do you measure pain? All is relative and personal Even with one’s own self It is impossible to compare As memory distorts pain
My heart breaks A little each day For problems I can’t solve For things I can’t change All I can do is pray
Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump
How do I Catch your interest? Once again I know You are bored with me
Some I like to share Fresh out of the oven Don’t let it get cold That’s why I wrote it Emotions in that moment
The strings that attach me To this world Ground me Yes they sometimes Keep me from flying
¿Te fue mal el día? Me va mal también a mi Dos vidas entretejidas Irrevocablemente Te cargo a ti encima
When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery
If food is poetry The flavors The smells Singing in harmony Is poetry food?
Your pain is far away I hear it But I do not feel it Move closer Let me know you’re here to stay
If you find someone That can do it Better than you Get them on your team
You must commit To an outfit Where are you going? In sporty yoga pants Athletic top
