I want someone to see me./
I want someone to know/
it ain’t easy.
I came to say,
That I love you,
But instead, you gave me nothing
That I could hope for.
“Mama,” you’ll say. “Mama, Mama.” And I’ll be the one to blame. Taking a second fall that never pushes back against a tide of shits and mouthful of fucks. Nameless and easy to point out the pangs of absence and guilt. Useless and replaced with something even more robust and diligently cared for.
In my worst nightmares, I’m standing outside the Candy Shop,
crying on the sidewalk in Brooklyn.
A moment in time—
where only I could remember
the night you refused to come out and talk.
I’m roaming inside America/
My feet have gotten very cold
“America”
staring up at fluorescent lights
