Co-parenting

Eleven years

Couldn't stop the affairs

Couldn't stop being...

Someone else's man

My son

He looks like his mother

Suitcase packed

No eye contact

I'm so late for my weekend

As expected

I'm so fake with my greeting

As expected

Still

They give me grace

The deepest of acceptance

My son

He looks like his mother

Painting a rosy face

Smile

She is dressed to the nines

Wearing a luxury scent

Well-groomed and manicured

Perfect

Pretty

Pleasant 

Classy and ladylike

Always smiling

Because she isn't happy

Still

She smiles

For you

How old were you when you learned that every smile isn't happy?

Birthday Party

I'm having a party

For the living and the dead

Ring in the present

I'd rather promptness instead

Souls, honored to be remembered

A joy to be present, now

In my human existence

Still alive, forever in my life

I, a soul before birth

Born to look out through...

These windows

Harps

Make it sound sweet

Bang! Bang!

Walked up to the door

Yeah, I'm outside

Didn't knock

Looked through the window

Saw her inside

Bang! Bang!

Walked backward down the steps

Here I am

Looking in every window, walking down the sidewalk

Hearing a thousand instruments escalating, maxing my mind

When the trumpets sound, it's a triumphant sound

The sound of a thousand angels in Heaven

Telling me to empty the clip

Bang! Bang!

You're dead

You're dead, Kill him off

The sky is about to cry

Bang! Bang!

You're dead

You're dead and done

Dead to me now!

Harps!
