I wrote this wee poem for my darling daughter just now. Sometimes it takes a bit for the emotions to settle before I'm able to get it down right. I'd tried writing a song, but it was stupid cheesy and made me cry too much when I sang it. But I'm re-watching old Survivor seasons to remember who's who for the upcoming All Winners. The season I'm watching right now is Blood vs Water, and the daughter just voted her mom to Redemption.
gone
i didn’t make the bed up for some time
after she left
i left
her comforter piled up there, her still in it
to stay my woes
:first there wasn’t
then there was
then there wasn’t again
too much mind time
to not miss the one
the only one
that I would still love
even if she voted me off of the island :)
