For you I'll be
the cool girl
the one unbothered by your past
untethered to expectations
sexy in a prom dress
For you I'll be
the good wife
the one who does laundry
cleans up messes
sexy in a tshirt and jeans
For you I'll be
the closer
the one who knows the score
puts up the numbers
sexy in a power suit
For you I'll be
the other woman
the biggest mistake you ever make
sexy in nothing at all
For you I'll be
the daughter
the one who calls regularly
diligently dutiful
graceful in pajamas
For you I'll be
the mother
the one with good advice
who'd gladly take a bullet
cloaked in failure
For you I'll be
myself
the one with all the scars
nothing left to be but
invisible

Let's Don't Do This
"I just can't do this anymore..." "Do what?" What can't you do? Put gas in your own car? I swear to God you make me take care of everything, don't you? You know I'm on my way to work right now but that never stops you from bothering me, does it?"
