The world is raw
And reeling
You are kneeling
On the cold side of the
Road pulling grass out of her
Downy fur feeling the still-
warm blood soak into the
Knees of your skirt and
You are feeling the hurt of
Intestines that are
Not your own Ropy, Uncoiling,
Stretched like homecoming banners yet
Homeless in the dirt
Your lips are bitten
Raw in the fury of the heartache
And your head is
Reeling drunk and there are mudslides
Rolling from your eyes taking your mascara,
Motherhood with them
And pooling at the bottom of your chin
Dissipating in drips
Her blue eyes rest like
Heavy-lidded sea glass and you
Remember a time when they rolled
Like waves full of new worlds
And you choke on the past
And you choke on her fur
You feel the crush of a
Starched and polished night
Falling fast
And you choke on the headlights as they pass
On down the highway
And you fall asleep holding her hoping
Your body will be enough to bless and
Keep her warm Hoping that your
Breath will be infectious as a cold
Until jarring hands pull you out of
Highway grass and flashing lights
Drive you back down the road
And you lay her body in the yard
On a red blanket
Soft fleece like blood and loose guts
You're alone now and you lay your body in the
Seeds, the pool of blanket
And you fall asleep holding her Whispering
Pleasedon'tbedeadPleasedon'tbedeadPleasedon'tbedead
Like a stuck record
God writes "No." inside your swollen eyelids
With a ( . ) it's final
Pause for breath

life will be hard
especially if you have a good heart;
that pain in your heart that you feel
it is only with time for it to heal.
with all the chaos happening
it won't mean your world is ending;
I promise,
days won't feel like years
and those tears will fall dry.
keep fighting
keep living
for you have a purpose
your better days are coming.

sitting with her eyes closed
she's lost in a sea of her own thoughts
her mind starts to wander
leaving her baffled
never been good at letting go
she tries going with the flow
By getting a grip from reality
a dash away through the galaxy
her world is growing like
the words in poetry
A heart aching for thrill
without the need of validation
the stars will be our map
hold my hand and do not let go
for in our love this is the foundation.

She was like the moon
always hidden in someway,
In the night she sings her sorrow away
praying just to make it through the day;
saying just drown the thoughts with the sound
staying up all night to chase the city lights
when all she wants is to be found.

He had a passion in his eyes
that caught me up in fire,
until my world fell apart
and he chose to burn my heart to ashes.

In this world full of colors,
but he chose to live in black and white;
his eyes were full of dreams like a beaming light
although he may not see me that quite,
he is the only thing that runs through my mind.

The Doctors were wrong,
They gave her a year,
Four months.....
She is gone.....
As the holidays near,
But the chemo was hard,
She was no longer able,
How dreadful the empty spot at the table
