Wonder Words

I wonder

If under 

That plastic smile 

Behind those

Kohl rimmed eyes

If I 

Am 

Ever 

On your mind

I wonder 

If you remember 

If you ever

Ever 

Ever

For one minute

Think it

Might have been 

The worst mistake

You ever made

You should have 

You could have 

But you never stayed

I wonder

If my heavy heart

Ever stalled 

Your steps 

If you 

Even know 

The girl you left

If you would notice me

From across

The street

In a crowded sea

Or in the frame 

Of the moment

In time 

Where you were part of me 

I wonder if you 

Close your eyes

And try to remind yourself

That the past 

Is well

Behind you

And that regret 

Will never find you

I wonder if you

Will recognize

Yourself in these words

If you will know 

That you

Are her 

I wonder 

When I look

In eyes 

That look like mine

If you ever 

Even for the briefest of moments

Tried 

To love me 

To love... Me 

More than you loved 

Yourself

But no 

No that isn't ever 

What you felt 

And I can tell 

That it's time to let you rest 

You never knew me 

As a daughter 

Because 

You 

Always, always

Loved you best

I wonder if you hurt now

Wondering 

What's left

24 with 3 kids  and he  is the man of her mothers dreams  or so it seemed  when she was pressed  to impress him  mommy stressed that she dress in  something to catch his eye  and I guess  she made her attempt  cause she caught him  but really it was not needed  he was bartering for a place to stay  and she was offered  as a bargain on the rent  take my daughter  no money spent  and so two lost souls  got together  got the better  of life  man and wife  and weight and struggle  and stress and yes  it was somehow  more than she had planned for herself  she felt suffocated by life  by love  by us  3 kids and this is just too much  she found her feet  and backpedaled quick  out the door  down the street  taking all the heat for being  "that kind of mother"  walking away...

Diluted Words

self love cause I  let myself  cry in the shower hard ugly  racking  sobs chest  burning  lungs  gasping asking me to relax self love cause  I  admit to myself that I'm unhappy unworthy under self imposed pressures that I never  ease up on self love  cause  I know deep in the places I never let  anyone see I am nothing no one  never have been  never having the strength  to be my own best friend self love  cause I let myself remember  what was done  and I let the ache wash over  me hot as this water hot as this shame  that I claim when I think  of opening up  of being vulnerable  self love cause I won't ever be  that weak  I will keep  my distance my dismissive  dark thoughts  at the forefront  of my mind  self love  cause I'm too broken to fuck  around and find love  find out that I was right  this whole time ...

Romance Words

I am looking for  a little bit  of romance I am weak for it in need of it the sweet  of it a confection  of care and feelings  with  delicate  textures buttery  vestures heartfelt  melt in my mouth  gestures I want kindness wrapped  like ribbons in my hair lace edged everything warm  low  lights soft  heat  gentle pressure urging pleas of please lavender  and velvet  soft at the back  of knees plush lush  rugs  to caress  my spine to beg me  to recline strawberry jam  on golden  spoons  under a golden  moon  hung low in the sky stars glowing the indigo blanket of night  the soft pastels  of dawn  sun casting gentle shadows on a verdant lawn checkered blankets wicker hampers a day  blue and bright hands in hands soft smiles bubblegum blushed cheeks subtle glances asking all the things  I need flowers  flirting ...
