MY MOTHER TOLD ME SOMEDAY WE WILL LAUGH ABOUT THIS
My mother told me someday
we will laugh about this…
These last few days when
inside my soul I was burning.
My mother told me someday
we will laugh about this…
Early mornings when I wake up
and you are on your phone
texting other women while
I remain faithful.
My mother told me someday
we will laugh about this…
My belly growing and the
loss of old friends quietly
hiding my pain of your
adulterous affairs.
My mother told me someday
we will laugh about this…
Tears I decided not to shed
because I don’t want you to
think I am weak yet am
willing to allow you to
believe I am shallow.
My mother told me someday
we will laugh about this…
Knowing that I love you
for more than a minute
for this and all lifetimes.
My mother told me someday
we will laugh about this…
Waterfall of emotions
including the one I choose
not to accept called anger
as it ravages through my
body causing my chest to
hurt while tears roll down my face.
My mother told me someday
we will laugh about this…
Simple things, simpler times
when it was not just you were picked because I didn’t want to be alone at night, but because you are my air.
My mother told me someday
we will laugh about this…
This morning I decided
that someday is today.
