(2014)
It’s not pretty When I cry People get almost as embarrassed as I
Uh-Oh! Cranky mood Throws a fit Over cereal Cheerios
Algunos me gusta compartir Calientitos Justo cuando salgan del horno Que no se enfríe Por eso lo escribí
How do you describe A man so dramatic? You can recognize him From afar with his hat Always the gentleman
My body is perfect —ly spotted The white spots I tell myself Are my Bambi spots
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
If I could paint a man Eyes so dark they shine Brooding and stormy Til the smile breaks through If I could paint a man
Yo te amo Tres palabras Que solucionen todo Para la mujer Tan complicada
Look in the mirror What is it you see? Hazel eyes above your Favorite black dress Looks clean and fresh
I enjoy his company Riding shotgun Conversation No one to overhear Our inside jokes
Are you ever tired Of just being you? Did you ever Want to be Someone new?
I cannot apologize For writing what I feel inside If it is hard to read It is harder to live I will understand
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
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
