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

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

I cannot apologize For writing what I feel inside If it is hard to read It is harder to live I will understand

Didn’t they know that people cared? That they were loved? Why didn’t someone tell them?

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

Why do we love sunsets? Distinguishing fascination What other species Must stop and stare A romantic couple

We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds

¿Te duele Cuándo piques tu dedo? No Lo hago por pura diversión Lo que duele

I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface

What if one day I wasn’t there for you? And you were left needing me If I wasn’t there When you woke up

Life is good A little luxury A cup of coffee Served with toast Consumed lazily

Hospitality To love a stranger It need not be much For one who has little Will appreciate it

Mis manchas de Bambi Manchas blancas Cubren mi cuerpo La gente se queda mirando Pero no les da asco
