“My grandmother’s milk is a bittersweet taste
of pain and a mother’s love.
My mother sucked pain out of her left breast
And I, from hers.
It is no surprise that I weep in my sleep.”
― When No One Is Watching
of pain and a mother’s love.

And I, from hers.

― When No One Is Watching
“I could starve myself
Make my skin smell like hers
Ooze the demeanor of a deity
But I am nothing but a commoner
Bearing riches in the form of love
My insides could never be warm enough to keep you
My riches, not enough to feed you
But if you call, I will surrender
I will shed and trade my skin to keep you warm
Be my master
Take me in
Make a home out of me.”

“How will I explain to people that you have burnt
yourself onto my skin,
Yet you are nowhere to be found?
How do I tell my mother I attract men who do not
stay?
How do I tell her I attract men like my father?”
