Can I live in this? The smile that fights with your lips, Yearning to bare teeth.

Luna, April 13th

It’s been four years, Luna

But I remember it like yesterday

The full, warm feeling

Like a constant sun beam

My hands clutching you

An apple for breakfast

A glass of milk

Loving through nurture

Before I knew you were growing

My cells whispered it to me

I looked into a mirror

Though my reflection remained unchanged

I knew, there you were

Looking out through my eyes

A sort of intuition I could never describe

I sang you lullabies

The restless sleep

Knowing you would soon leave me

I remember the crying

Begging for your forgiveness

I was not ready for you

I asked you to come back

When I could give you everything

I promised you a better life

Than the one I that was leading

Almost as soon as you came, you went

Then the agonizing cold ache in my belly where I once loved you

An emptiness only a mother knows
