In as voice much like my mother's

In as voice much like my mother’s

You kissed my ears and they bled and healed in

An instant

And you seemed surprised at my tears as if

Your voice

Had never shaken anyone so deep

But I cried and cried

And the tears were so

Many colors it made me

Run until

It was winter and I didn’t know where I was

Some where you were close

But not close enough you

Heard the shakes

It was close enough

And the sparkle of lights

In the windows I

Pass

They seem to wonder idly

Why I don’t seem as content

As some full bellied child with gifts in their hands

But they don’t know how full my

Mind

Is

Thinking of your warms spins

Touched smile

And eyes I can’t ever remember

In your spring clothes

Whatever the case

You seem to pull beauty and

Flow

I just frown and ruffle my hands in

My jacket pocket to the

tune of nerves

because you shouldn’t have to deal with things like this

but I can’t help it because I’m not selfless enough to give up

Because God told me not to

God told me not to
