You weren’t there for me.

You said that you loved my smile,

How you lied to me.

You only wanted what lied

Behind the wall of sorrow.

I'm concealed right now,
as my hair is ******* tight.
I saw her letter,
it crept a smile in my life,
sincerely long hair and bun.
Me and the long hair female (my cousin), do speak, but we had a disagreement. I wasn’t happy when we last properly spoke and then education came swarming into my life – distracting me pretty badly.

Soon enough my Father’s birthday came around and to our surprise we heard in the card to us, she was pregnant.

I spent many of my years protecting my cousin, I cared dearly for her and I even made my first picture motion video about her being a remake of the popular UGLY pmv video itself on YouTube due to her not feeling confident in herself.

She’s actually a year younger than me, so this is a big situation in highlight, I can’t help but feel conflicted from knowing there are many stresses she will have to undergo as a young mother, but I know even aside our disagreement, I love my cousin and I’m always there for her and I want to see her become the best mother she can to her child.
During this time, myself, I would’ve imagined things differently, I was expecting to get married and be with my partner happily, but as shown in prior poems it didn’t always work out for me – so I do hope it works out the best for her.  

This was another Tanka inspired poem.

This is the wind born
As it wimpers through the trees
A willful whisper
Midst the meadow mindfulness
Willing it will ever be
To do what? To whisper in your ear of course. (:
