the times we shared

Dear Mom,

Sitting, waiting, hoping
She is my mother,
that indomitable, unattainable goal.
A woman of iron and silk and unforgiving praise.

Dear mother of mine
Was I ever worth your time?
My fragile heart yearns for your unconditional love
A feeling that I'm deprived of
Please don't shut me in
Don't hide me from the treasures buried
deep within the world,
Don't bring me down with destruction

A red pair of shoes.
They'd been hers, her mother's
