Mother’s Day

As she sat down

She looked around

And each of their smiles

Was a winner  

Yet she couldn’t help 

But think to herself 

They are only here

For the dinner

(Inspired by a writing prompt offered by Michael at https://afterwards.blog)

The Moonlight Flit

It took so much

Out of her

Putting up

With all his flack

So one day

She just ran away

And never once

Looked back


The Time Waster

I cannot
believe
after all
this time
I’m still
stuck in
your trap.

Quietly
putting up
with your
bullshit and
listening
to all
your crap.

If I have
to spend one
more minute
with you
I think
that I’ll
be sick.

Never
before
have I
wasted my
time on
such an
arrogant
little prick.

She taught me everything I know

Both for the good and for the bad

Still, I cannot help but love her

As she’s the only mother I’ll have


Nature Vs Nurture

The
packet
cracks

As
the
tablet
snaps

And I
glug it
down
with
water

My
body
contracts

As
I face
the
facts

That
I am my
mother’s
daughter

Daughters

I’m so
glad that
you’re no
longer here

To see
what
they’ve
become

Both
bitter and
twisted
individuals

Who’ve
lost the
love you
taught them
