Molly Andrew Poem
I watch him
Stare at her
I wonder
What does she have that I don’t?
Why does he want her?
Why am I not good enough?
What did I do?
I watch my best friend
And the one I’ve loved for so long
Talk
Laugh
Smile
Be happy
Something I haven’t had
Something I haven’t done
Something that I want
But something
I’ll never get

Molly Andrew Poem
Time
Why is time so precious to my mother?
I sit here
Here on this old rickety porch
White paint scabbing
Looking at the dark clouds
Dark clouds pouring their sadness
Out onto the land
I wonder
What it would’ve been like
If he hadn’t left
If he hadn’t started a new life
Mom always says
‘Pain and sadness turns to beauty’
But I don’t see it
How can knowing your own father
Left
Didn’t want you
Turn into beauty?
I watch as the sun
Peeks it’s head out from underneath the clouds
How can the sun still shine bright
When all I want to do
Is curl up into a little ball
And demand to know what I’ve done
What I did to make him leave
He left
Left to start a new family
And left me here
To sit on this old, broken porch
To watch the rain fall
When his job was to stay
