Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly

Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump

Look in the mirror What is it you see? Hazel eyes above your Favorite black dress Looks clean and fresh

Didn’t they know that people cared? That they were loved? Why didn’t someone tell them?

He says I could never Get away with murder For I leave Pieces of me everywhere

Rough day Rough night If I could live In my bath Water would never

If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile

May sun is warm An old friend You have missed June sun Still smiles

I had it all In my head And then I said Words I do not know which ones

I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface

Filler words Put me to sleep Added to cushion Take away my pillow Blunt words to wake up
