I sat alone with feelings of regret,
Choked on the words I said before your flight.
Our summer crush I wish I could forget,
Possessed by something in the air last night.
Confessions said to heal but this one hurts;
One shot was all it took for you to see,
Ignore the head and thoughts of you get worse,
Profess, protest, protect, the heart that beats;
As cheers ring out, the sparks between us shine;
August wave of heat brings me back 'round.
The tension envies every passer by,
We float in hope, in silent fear I drown.
The rain it came in time for no mistakes,
Drenched in the hope of love, pain and heartache.

My Phenomenal Mom, Adrianne.
On any given day there are life lessons my mom taught me that live rent free in my mind. Some she meant to teach and some she didn’t. If I close my eyes I can hear her saying, "Aleah life is not fair," or "God never puts more on you that you can bare," or "not now, doesn't mean never." Of course sometimes, against my better judgement, I choose to ignore those lessons. But I always come back later and regretting that decision.
