Do other couples keep receipts?
Or hide food in the corner of cheeks?
Generous, you stood without me
with
Nordstrom.
DICEY FELT TABLES.
Speed boats.
Inflated male ego.
I wish I could light up enough to
have you throw away your life on me
Security is a ******
I  was suckling and full
Only to
lick my licks
and find poison instead of milk
My white bones poke with anorexic love
The runt of
your litter of lovers
Do I try to bark up a different tree?
Or root myself as a solo maple
So my daughter can sip my syrup
There is no sugar
Unless I'm the mamma
Daddy's play and
throw away
Blinking twice and wondering
why
One woman will not accept
the lie.
