1096

found love in a sock drawer
is this yours
I called
cause I threw all mine away
and the children
or rodents
laughed and said
your days are through
and I laughed
not now
not now

I’ve calmed down

for almost forgetting
all the little things
I force feed myself
scraps of our time together

“Their arms squish me and I’m crushed. I’m a mess.”

would you

could we
could we
could we
still got a brick house

“is it getting easier? Oh it’s just getting harder for me.”

it’s not that I didn’t know
I just thought I’d fail
at marriage and kids
