Nothing makes people flee Like reading them poetry They value it in theory But please don’t make them read Surprise me with your verse

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

The more you treat me like a nag The more I become one I’m sorry if I micromanage Your clean clothes Your hot meals

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

The passive-aggressive Guilt trip Is a weak tool For your purpose The sensitive

Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump

My heart breaks A little each day For problems I can’t solve For things I can’t change All I can do is pray

Filler words Put me to sleep Added to cushion Take away my pillow Blunt words to wake up

I would never choose To eat a granola bar Or peanut butter crackers Though I eat them All of the time

I enjoy his company Riding shotgun Conversation No one to overhear Our inside jokes

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
