Mother's Day 2024

by ·

5/12/2024
When stars arise
Amid bloodshot eyes
Countless skies
Expose

Pinprick lights
Perforated nights
What's out of sight’s
Repose

I gaze, I stare
I wonder, I glare
No words are shared
Just woes

You tease, you toy
You're mockingly coy
I'm just a boy
un-grown

Beyond all this
Protect what's amiss
If ignorance is bliss
Bestow

No, I can't see
What it means to be
Just let me be
Alone
