Mother

You know I had to write about you
You know I always do
Since you've left
nothing has been the same
not even your little you
I've dated so many losers
made so many mistakes
but this is what happens
when god decides
my mother it is,
he'll take.

Missing

I've been missing
for a little while
My heart don't wanna smile
So it's out until Monday
For a short weekend vacay
But it's been out "until Monday"
Since just before last May
Now we're in a cold season
I see my heart coming back
in the distance
screaming out
"I'm freezing!"

20 years

In twenty years
will I be wise?
and divorced
and surprised
That my kids
are grown
and people are dead
and friends
have vanished
like these thoughts
in my head?

Breakfast

Morning coffee
is a snake
slithering down my throat
startling my insides
waking me for day
Morning coffee is the color of honey
I only use a little cream
My tongues feels it's been thawed out
My breakfast is caffeine.
