Mother Part 2

[Frosty da snowman]

These murky silted waters
These grey turbulent skies
These once writ shall never be spoken to you
Such sacrine sugar would only weaken taught bonds
As you once held my head in infancy
So shall I do you, some cords can never be cut
They only stretch over time
Reading between the lines of your short notes, like novels
I see disappointment under a dessert sun
Strange to see a strong shield cracking
I got my shell from you
Silent nobility, striking, silent, perfect, untarnished.
Life never broke your edge
Only honed a you t a fever pitch
your tears fell silent onto smiling cheeks
Bruises hidden under makeup. Long sleeves
My childhood saved, a saint on call
I love you
I’m asking you not to be a Caryatid
I’ve grown to be your Atlas
Let me shoulder your world
