More To Mommy

A poetic mind stuck in a tiny blue collared southern momma's body.

" I have built a house made from excuses, and now I'm tearing it down. My mind has so many uses, Which I have kept sheltered Up until now. The brick walls all around me. Not letting a sliver of sunlight through. What a waste of a life, I am finally breaking through. I have crashed through the mortar, I've smashed through the stone. Just because these bricks gave me refuge, It did not make this place home. Lies were cement, Holding this facade together. But even the most brilliant of minds, Can't fake sanity forever.

"You could love me in the all the wrong ways.
Or I could leave you for all the right reasons. 
I can’t decide which is the lesser or two evils.
I can’t decide if you’re truly evil at all. 
They say even the devil was an angel. 
And looking at you I know it’s a fact.
How can a person have such a passionate soul, 
But have not the slightest bit of compassion in their heart?
If this world were truly black and white,
You would always be the gray.
I would live in that gray area if I could.
I would call it home and let myself become gray as well,
But that’s where a girl can lose herself.
That’s where dreams turn to desperation and people forget who they are. 
So I will learn to think of you as something that never happened,
Something that never will.
I will pretend you aren’t even human.
After all, I’m almost certain that you truly aren’t. 
The knowing of truth is freeing and heartbreaking all at once.
The ability to run away but watch from a distance is a super power.
You’ll always be the wine that I can’t help but drink. 
Dry and bitter but leaving me beautifully numb.
You’ll always be the song that I can’t help but sing.
Sweetly familiar and predictable, And stuck in the corners of my mind for eternity.
You’ll never be in a rocking chair beside me,
Talking about a life we shared.
You’ll always be a dream that wakes me up and I will never be able to determine if it was a pleasant memory or an actual nightmare." #poetsofinstagram #childrenofink #prose #wordporn #goodandevil #sunday #writersofinstagram #soulfood #mindfood

We're here for a good time. Not for a long time. ❤️

Totality

The pieces of me that I had lost, I found all of them in you. A shell of a human, I despised the sight of love. Turns out I just needed a better view. My eyes are burning from staring into the sun. Years I have prayed for shade and here you come. A cold drink of water, To the mouth of a wanderer. I was lost in the desert, Where all the dead things are. Just dreaming of a time when the stars Would all perfectly align. Maybe then dreams won't seem so hard to make come true. I've always believed in something bigger than myself. I just didn't know it would be you. Totality is rare. In any realization of the word. And some will never witness it. So to expect it more than once is absurd. If you were the moon and the sun was me, Would you stay a while longer in totality? It only happens every hundred years or so. In my lifetime I never expect such a glow, Like the one that surrounds you. How could this blind me, When at last I can see? Your smile opened up every door, that I had closed within me. You came and went like a total eclipse of the sun, You were magical and mythical. But you passed on by and now it's done. I'm left here changed and in awe. There's no going back to before. But it's fine, I don't want to be that person anymore. I guess the moon will always remind me of you. In the night sky it sheds light down on me. Can you see it too, Through all those bright city lights? Way out here with the crickets, It's such a view. It's dancing with the stars across a black sky.. Demanding attention and bringing back memories. It's pulling at my gravity and raising my tide. Just like the moon, sun and the sea, You'll always have a hold on me. I heard that you're the same. And I'm sure you'll always be. Some things never change, And some people need to be free. I'll stay as far away as I possibly can, If we met too often the world wouldn't understand. In another lifetime, Maybe it will all happen again. A brief totality turning day to night. An age old love kindled between two old friends. The moon kisses the sun and steals her light. But not for long because some things don't last. Moving on and leaving just pictures to remind us of the past. Some things I forget, as quickly as they came. And other things are permanent, Like tattoos on my brain. I guess sometimes love is selfish. When it's not convenient for everyone else. Even if it's what you want. You put the world before yourself. Maybe that's how the moon feels. Maybe he wants desperately to be near the sun. But the Earth would be in darkness, So instead he's always on the run.

Dream

I tell myself it’s not just make believe. It feels just like a real memory. But I’m not sure anymore where the line is, Between what never happened and what actually did. What almost was is more than I can take. The echo of your touch keeps me awake. But in my mind you’re forever seventeen. and I can feel you, I can hear you, when I dream. That’s where you still laugh for me. In that place I can hold you and there you’ll always be. My naive heart has bit off way more than it can chew. Every backroad , every little lyric me leads right back to you. And it isn’t healthy. I don’t think it’s safe. To let my heart get so attached to something that won’t ever take place. You were just a dream. Figment of my imagination. You exist in my mind. But for me there is no separation between reality and hopeless fiction. But these thoughts I have are so convincing. You weren’t ever really in love with me. You’re just a what if. I ran away before it got too deep. Now I’m regretting it. At least once a day I press rewind, In my mind. And I go back to that rainy night, To that one time. And I kiss you back. I don’t pull away. And I say the things to you, That I still want to say. But it’s a dream. It’s just a dream. I gotta wake up. Rise and shine girl. You screwed it up. Staring down into my coffee mug, What I wouldn’t give for one more hug. One more chance to just be close to you. One more chance to let myself get lost in you. But was that real? Yes I think that part was real. I can’t tell though it’s all starting to feel a little messed up. It’s getting meshed up. Shake my head, I’m going back to bed. That’s where I’ll find you. Waiting for me like you always do. That’s where your eyes still shine,
And your hand is in mine. That’s where it’s how I thought I would be. And it will be for a short time, In my mind.
Just let me dream.
