i smell you in the ocean
and i see you in the sky
i feel you in my heart,
i hear you in my cry
a little girl,
i thought that everything would last
life was candy lollipops and gumdrops in the sky
lessons came in billions then, followed with a “why?”
a stubbed toe? i thought that i would surely die
a mirror’s glance into my eyes
reveals the part of me that’s you
my heartbeat stops and tears well up
it’s a part of you i wish i knew
as i grew up
i learned to hide my soul
covered tears with bravest smile
in every breath denied the trial
saw an inch and ran the mile
not angry at you anymore
that took too long to say
seven years have passed and yet,
i miss you every day
twenty-two
but still unsure
i’m tearing down the wall
accepting when i fall
admitting i can’t cure them all
a life without a mother
can tear your heart away
so cherish yours, forever.
and happy mother’s day.
