I Spill My Life
I Spill My Life
I spill my life onto blank white pages
Line after line of I did this
Thought this
Loved this
Hated this
Dream this
I spill my life out
Onto blank pages
One after another
Until the call comes
Mama she says
Mama I need you
I gather her up in my arms
Her scent fills my head
With memory
That first day we met
I said I know you’re there
I’m here for you
You are safe
You are loved
Until she lay wet and wailing
In my arms
A slight change in perspective
For us both
I hold her and breathe deep of her scent
Feel her strong little legs kicking against mine
As she sings a language all her own
Truth dawns as my head catches up with my heart
I spill my life out onto blank white pages
But only the drops that are left
From when I spilled my life to her
