My Mama may have been right…..
But I won’t tell her though
She warned me about you
Loving you
Letting you in to the deepest
Parts of me
Then watching as the years
With you began to strip
Away at all of me
My Mama may have been right
As much as I ignored her advice
I was too blinded by love
To see
That in all my avoidance
Of trying to find someone opposite
Of my daddy
I ended up with the flip side
Of the same penny
Sometimes I sit and wonder
Where the world I would be
If I took her advice back then
Would I have ever lost the woman
I used to be?
I miss her though….. The old me
So much, that bits and pieces
Are slowly coming together
Until her form takes complete
Shape inside my being
Mama may have been right
Her words fill my ears
With a consistent ringing
They take life as I observe each one
Be birthed in your ever-changing
Personality
Are you crazy?
This used to be what kept me in place
Trying to protect you from you
Without the covering of
Someone protecting me
Mama you might be right
I wonder should I have listened then
Because if I did not
The wonder would have been
On the opposite side of
The neighborhood my mind
Now lives in
And you would have been to me
A sweet, sweet, sweet fantasy
A cherished memory
Who would have never done
What you have done to me
