in the needful glare I don't measure up
gazing at starlit thoughts
they shimmer the souls of beauty
sacrifice the pride and put it aside
my luster has faded
my glory has stunted
redemption in a glance
if only you would look at me like that
pentrated want I desire more
mockingbirds gossip undressing me to my sorrow
it is with great care I cast my illusion
secrets revealed steals my glitter
lamenting in the spotlight of your disdain
my vain attempts are looked upon as weak
my burden to carry
my faith broken in you and self
a flower who bloom for a day and withered
no more hummingbirds to suckle
trading my self esteem for proclivities of shame
my thoughts mirrored back to me in this letter

thank you dearest John yesterday was Mother’s day and I was at the park with my husband and I caught sight of him gazing at a younger more fit woman and I realized he would probably never look at me like that again it made me sad… I deeply appreciate the love you show me 💕
