#Memories
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
I enjoy his company Riding shotgun Conversation No one to overhear Our inside jokes
My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory
Destruction is fun But cannot be undone Smashed Trashed Crumpled
I cannot divide My heart Into four pieces Equally Geometrically
Why do we love sunsets? Distinguishing fascination What other species Must stop and stare A romantic couple
No es solo la tristeza Aunque si lo estoy No es por el desanimo Aunque si me desanimo No es tan sencillo
Mis manchas de Bambi Manchas blancas Cubren mi cuerpo La gente se queda mirando Pero no les da asco
I know it’s for the best But it still hurts Hearing mothers complain For what I would give anything fo… My husband says no
I’ve known Deep inside All along My value That I matter
The human heart ...leaps and jumps ...races and sings ...sighs and groans The treacherous heart can
It’s not pretty When I cry People get almost as embarrassed as I
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
Look in the mirror What is it you see? Hazel eyes above your Favorite black dress Looks clean and fresh
I told everyone About you The ugly beast Inside of me You can’t hide
