Too Small For Eyes - Mothers

All things aside

I gave enough of my time

I lost a dozen friends of mine

But I don't think it will be long now

Please tell me that you won't be long

I hate my body

I love your taste

Bird stirring in my chest

You give and take away

Restless limb restless mind

How time will test its teeth

Oh God

We lived unloved in unmade beds

You wore me like a necklace

You closed me

Like a locket

Became something

Bloated with doubt

Bullied by love

Too small for eyes

Too small for eyes

I think I'm at my best

When nothing's needing me

Walked softly as I could

And still I stepped on all their feet

I want to apologize to everyone I see

I want to apologize to everyone I meet

Haha
