Real

Trying to say how I feel 
Wanting you to know 
This love is real
Taking me by the hand 
You listen so closely 
I feel you understand 
Holding you that certain way
Thinking of ways to say 
That I want you everyday 
The dimples in your smile 
That distract me for awhile 
And every single one
Of that goofy free-style
And when I hear your laugh breakthrough 
I feel a joy that’s really true
Something that doesn’t feel one-sided
A sense that we are ignited 
Like when a flame meets a match 
We are united 
The secret memories we hold
And how we were so bold 
With you I can’t be self controlled 
Somehow I know we’re bound
So through every up and down 
With you I’ll stick around

Incarceration

Your incarceration 
Causes me humiliation 
I try my best not to bring it up 
But my mind stays in this location 
I miss you so much but our relationship has never had a firm foundation 
Yes our relationship is just a complication
So what am I to do 
You once were good to me 
But everything has changed 
A mother to me you were but now you are estranged
Maybe prison will change you 
Maybe something’s to be arranged 
Because of you my mind is now deranged 
So now while we both sit staring at wall 
I tend to sit and wait for a 877 call 
Trying to remember our last interaction but I just can’t quite seem to recall 
Went through your things that people treated like a take all 
An intense anger that did install 
Before and after this incarceration 
Our relationship is at a deprivation 
Cause to you let’s be honest.. I was never an obligation 
As a mother you sent in your resignation 
Leaving me to learn how to be patient 
I wrote you letters hoping to make your day
But in prison I’m not sure a day can be made 
A small piece of writing 
a letter written like band aid 
Praying to god that behind bars you don’t slowly fade 
They said at least a decade 
I heard and it felt like I was pushed in the deep end holding bricks I was weighed 
Down to the bottom I can’t catch my breath 
Yes I am so afraid 
Now Having to communicate with people from the past 
Needing help to talk to you so on my grudges I place a cast 
Seeing old faces and saying let’s get to the point no need to contrast 
Our feelings set aside and let’s keep all this off broadcast 
Our relationship is unsurpassed
I need this process to move a little fast 
So your incarceration 
Has caused my heart some deflation
At a point of starvation 
For something more than just a blood relation
 So now I’ve made it my proclamation 
That I will never be something even considered your replication
