Chapter 52:

09.27.21

And I will never be the person
who'd make your morning coffee
and breakfast in bed nor the one
who'd embrace you at night.
I will never be the woman fetching
your kids at school nor the one you'd
come home when you are done at work.

Because I will always be someone
from the past to where you once
dwelled your pain and heartaches.
I will always be someone who
was there in your transitions
but not someone who would
gain the benefit of it.
