Mother's Day

Sunday, May 9

when i was a baby

you taught me not to shove

you taught me right from wrong

you taught me how to love

and as i started growing

you taught me how to dress

you taught me how to cook

and clean up my own mess

you taught me how to act

when things didn't go my way

and you taught me how to work -

to work hard every day

you taught me not to follow

to be a leader just like you

and you taught me not to quit

no matter what i had to do

but most of all you taught me -

even though it was sort of hard -

to be an excellent daughter

and write great mother's day cards!

~dedicated to my amazing mom <3

Goodbye Speech

Friday, May 7

goodbyes are contagious

one second you're hearing a speech

given from a friend to a friend

that ends with "i love you and will miss you"

and the next

you're crying about your love

who's leaving too,

the whole time whimpering

"i love you and will miss you"

and you know that somewhere

someone else is saying goodbye, too.

I Got You

Thursday, May 6

We're the type

that i would be jealous of

that i would rip my hair out to figure out

because we're so imperfectely perfect

and hou could anyone want more

than what i got?

i got you...

I Choose Option A

Thrusday, April 29

You aske a question

a question that already has an answer

a secret answer at that.

so when i answer this question

my answer is vague and thin

because i don't want to ruin the surprise.

This Feeling

Wednesday, April 28

It feels like a firework show

like the engery is coursing through

every fiber

of your being

triggering every nerve

pleasure point

pressure point

soft spot

until it's all just bliss.

it feels like christmas morning

you wake up earlier than usual

with waves of adrenaline rising off you

just to experience the moment

because you're scared for it to leave.

it feels like apple pie

warm going down

and it just sits inside of you

a lumpy mess

of perfection

you know you couldn't live without.
