No es solo la tristeza
Aunque si lo estoy
No es por el desanimo
Aunque si me desanimo
No es tan sencillo

We
Are me and you
Together
Two hearts
Two minds

I am sorry
That I cannot be happier
I know that I’d be prettier
If I smiled
If I could smile

Turkey and dressing
Loud and overwhelming
Opinions and food fly
Green bean casserole
Too much laughter

I look away
Afraid to see
Flicker of nerves
In their eye
A clench

If I could make you smile
Just once
Sincerity
From an appreciative heart
It would make all of it worthwhile

Down to earth
I am but of dust
Dust particles
I see floating in the air
Carbon molecules

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

Desperate for his attention
Knowing it will drive him away
Jealous of a game - how lame
Choking self-esteem where I lay
Desperate for his affection

Your pain is far away
I hear it
But I do not feel it
Move closer
Let me know you’re here to stay
