I thought of what we used to do
When I told my husband lies
I couldn’t get enough of you
And your warm inviting thighs
You would meet me at the corner store
As the sun was sinking down
Then you’d drive a little more
Until we drove into town
I couldn’t wait that long
To reach up that little skirt
You wore your lacy thong
Does it match what’s under your shirt?
I start my fingers at your knee

The teacher asks me to write down what I love most about my mom. She says we are making cards for Mother’s Day. Other kids are already writing their favorite things about their moms, but there’s so much i love about my mom, I don’t know where to start. After all, she’s all I have.
I write down that I love that my mom is brave. It’s true, she is the most brave person in the world. She wasn’t...
As I sit here Alone
My friends around me
Are all gathered together
Blending into the surroundings
As I sit here Alone
Their words get louder
But I don’t recognize the language
Seconds passing like hours

I glance towards the chair and notice a small boy, maybe 5 or 6, practicing writing the alphabet on a legal pad in the chair.
The smell of decades of shedded skin cells living on forgotten furniture invaded my a...
I was looking for my baby picture when I found it. I had just gotten back from the baby’s photo shoot for her 6 month milestone session. I remembered I had a photo of myself in a similar pose that she had put my daughter in.
As soon as I opened the box, I saw it. Not the photo, but the phone. I forgot it was even in there, honestly. I tried turning it on, just out of curiosity. Of course, i...
It’s better to have loved and lost,
than to never have loved at all
I keep telling myself those words
But I feel I’m beginning to fall
Everything happens for a reason
they say it’s all in gods timing
I think it’s supposed to be comforting
But do they understand what that’s implying
God wanted her to die?
God meant for her family to suffer?
God gave her cancer?
God never intended for her to r...
