It wasn’t until decades later that I realized it.
She knew.
Tell me mother, what was the street value of your youngest?
How many hits did I buy you?
I have denied that a tear ever touched my skin
While you apologize for your actions, once again
like fire and gasoline dancing
our flame has grown brighter, more destructive
Because I love you...
I often dream about you.
Because I love you...
I consistently find myself thinking about you.
Because I love you...
I don't want your attention going elsewhere.

I often dream about you.
Because I love you...
I consistently find myself thinking about you.

I don't want your attention going elsewhere.
Communication as a whole is key
To better shape a relationship that will be
Because I love you,
I will not dangle your past as leverage to guilt
or shame you.
I will not emotionally or mentally torture you
with ridiculous mind games.
I will not ever physically lay a hand on you.
My mother’s love;
a disguise.
She hides her love from me
behind closed eyelids.
She covers her body
with empty bottles
