Letters From Jail
each and every
letter
I read over and over
cries for help
please of insanity
please
get me out
large scribbles on both sides of the paper
more than promises
a desperate girl
locked up
weeks I didn't sleep
thinking of her naked in jail
on suicide watch
I could see her through my fisheye
mamma's lens
my skin crawled with guilt
my throat closed
in the shower I sobbed
yet I left her there
a mothers heart can surely be broken
more than a million times.
