Piece of Me (A Long Haiku)
Hold you against me
Closing my eyes to your breath
Small life in my arms
One half piece of me in you
Swallowed up by sleep
You are safe from the outside
Baby, be at peace
I would die to keep you safe
You Were Wrong
You’ll be a terrible mother, you said
You’ll never be wanted by anyone, you said
You’ll be another pathetic divorced wife, you said
You’ll never be a real writer, you said
You’ll amount to nothing, you said
You’ll be sorry when I leave you, you said
You’ll never be good enough, you said
You’ll always be crazy, you said
You’ll never be happy, you said
Guess what…you were wrong
