Lullaby

The only lullaby,
In my tired eyes,
Is the bitter taste of alcohol,
The breathtaking smoke,
Of your final cigarette,
And the blood that,
Drips down your arm,
Until you finally pass out.
This lullaby is guaranteed,
To put you to sleep in no time.

if i could just see you for one day
a whole day to see your face
what would i say?
would i tell you how i think about you day by day?
or how you always made me feel like i was in the right place.
would i tell you how i compare everyone to you
and its so hard to go through
would i tell you how my body and heart aches
because of all of those dumb mistakes
would i tell you that i thought you were the finest
bringing my emotions to a high with your kindness
would i tell you that i know i wouldnt be able to funtion without you in my life
i've even dreamt about being your wife
all of these things i want to tell
but here i am back in my shell
back in where im too scared
very unprepared
while my lips spread apart
i say"maybe we can have a fresh start"

My mom had me when she was nineteen years old, but I wasn't an accident.

My mom had surgery the day before yesterday and I wasn't there to kiss her before she went in. She called me before and she left me a voicemail when she got out. She said she loved me and she missed me. I miss her too.

My mom hates washing more dishes than she has to, but she refuses to use the dish washer. We eat on paper plates and we have three sets of salad tongs that we got for free from Dion's Pizza. My mom goes to Sam's Club to buy Charmin and generic paper towels, she likes the hot dogs at Target, and she gets her iced non-fat mochas at McDonalds.

My mom is tiny. She weighs a hundred and ten pounds and is 5 feet 3 inches. She has fake *****, and long black hair down to her waist. She makes me feel safe.

My mom works two jobs, on top of taking care of three kids plus me. She makes Mama Mia mac and cheese, and Mama Mia meatloaf and Mama Mia fajitas, basically she makes food and calls it Mama Mia because she made it.

My mom is beautiful.
Dear Charlotte,

Whenever there was a storm
you had power over sea
you comforted the water
just like you comforted me

I saw you as my guardian angel
always being around
and so you were the shining light
always picking me up from the ground

Now there's something I need you to know,
I've always loved you a lot
and also I want you to know
that you're the one I never forgot

I always knew you liked me,
in a special kind of way
by the sweet concering love
I saw in your eyes every day

And now you have a home
in a special part of my heart
and I guess that's why I miss you
now that I know, that we'll be forever apart.

This poem might me my most personal one ever. Charlotte was my beloved (and favourite) class teacher. She was a special and kind woman with a strong love in her heart. She had the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen and she really loved our class. And we really loved her. We had a special kind of connection I can't explain, but I'm greatful that it happened. She really is the best thing that has happened to me. And last but not least, she always understood me. Always. :-*

Maybe if I twist my cigarette a little more,
I can shift the world.

Maybe if I can just look you in the eye,
I can let you in my mind.

Maybe if you touch my hand a little bit,
the snow would melt off my fingertips.

My skin is a little chilly, ice-ridden,
you might just get frost-bitten.

But the fire in your eyes,
tells me where your intentions lie.

I'm in the mood for someone,
someone like you.
