Ice Cold Toxic Milkshake

I fell into my morning bed the tears turned my sheets blue the bed couldn’t stand the quake my sister made a quick streak for my mom…she was the balm i hurt all over…it was over had it even started? infatuation indistinguishable from real love…I didn’t know yet the midnight shift sifting the hours, as i served muffins and milkshakes stunned…i had not the boldness nor the madness, yet the vision of iced cold toxic milk thrown into the ho’s chest would have been icing on the cruel night she’d shone up with my puppy I didn’t love but i didn’t know it then (say’n this with a southern accent makes this so much sweeter) but i was an upstater, a New York date my sister made a quick streak for my mom…she was the balm if’n i hurt now, i lean on the next best thing muffins and milkshakes an ice cold toxic milk to get rid of the ilk truly this guy wasn’t the greatest though he shared the name of a president not present…guys don’t know how to break up and girls ignore guys in the worst way i know…i did that once i saw said guy a year later (not the heartbreaker) he said if i ever broke up with my husband call him he wanted me to go out the next night - i agreed and did NOT…we all break hearts, and keep, hopefully, our real lives straight 6/20/2023

A tribute to your mother and memories of her. She really took care of you. Pity I can't speak in a southern drawl. Hugs.
