What My Love Is

You were small and quite

Pink breathe

I was too proud to fight it

Pushed you out

so I could fall in-to a role I bled to be in

You're growing up

Tartan plaid warm

Learning your patterns in our cerebral cord

This is all I have

This is all I’ve ever wanted

But your too soft to touch

To easily trusting a vixen a foxglove bewitching the dreams he had of sons

You smell like home

Though I can’t see it

I know

I know

I know what love is

I'm fading now

Behind the veil of motherhood and misunderstood illness

You’re a tunnel I'll crawl down

A city I'll wonder around

You're in the back of my head I just can't pluck you out

You smell like home

Though I can’t see it

I know

I know

I know what love is

But you wear your hair too much like mine

And I wonder where I left my childhood behind

You smell like home

Though I can’t see it

I know

I know

I know

I hope you know

I hope you know what my love is
