While you were gone, My childhood dog died. I wept for both of you, And I felt like a corpse. While you were gone,
You ruined me. How could you? You’re my mother. You were supposed to be strong. Not me.
Nights of chuckling After no jokes And Dancing without nerves Become me
Twigs on fire Never linger, never flit. Their emotions stand dire To the situation that cannot be sp… Twigs on fire never see.
I wish I could tell my brother That I loved him, But the words are tight in my thro… And I’m a coward. I wish I didn’t say “thank you”
I lost my innocence On a king-sized sheet With four posters And the two of us. Just the two of us

The blur of lighted cars Flying in a flurry down The highway at night Soothes me in the Most unorthodox way.
