tell me the truth
were you ever
H A P P Y
or was i the cause
of so much
P A I N
of so much
A N G U I S H
that even the smile i loved so much
soon became just as
F A K E
as your idea of parenting

Yet..

We haven't met yet
But I feel like I will enjoy making you smile..
Watch you laugh
And maybe pause the moment
Or let it play in repeat but in slo-mo

We haven't met yet
But I feel like our hugs will last
a longer while..
My small head resting on you safely
As you fight the urge to carry me

We haven't met yet
But I feel like we'll be in each other's space for a while.

my skin was ice
and you despised the cold
In itself, forgiving
       does not absolve forgetting
I will live today
not as yesterday
