I took a retreat for quite some time
and without realizing it
she brought me out.  I woke
to days of sunshine and chirps
once again as if my ears and eyes
were plugged and covered
with memories and countertop
conversations with my mom
who was no longer there.
I came out and felt alive
and all I did was make her not...
I guess that is what I am doing,
though speaking my mind
is my pride and I can't stop
making her feel bad
about who she is when
she is the one I fell for after all
and she is the one I love
and do not want to change at all
but I call out my feelings
without blockers and I guess
without regards to her feelings,
though I know through time
she will get used to my brand
and not be scarred for life
but appreciate who I am
like I do she.
