Always
By Ruthio

So many things I will never forget but probably definitely will;
Looking down at your eyelashes on closed lids as you sleep pressed to me in the sling,
The wild knots that entangle themselves within
As I wonder if you’ve had enough sleep
The uncontrollable thirst
that hits my throat immediately as you latch on my breast to feed,
Dying for water like I’ve never had a sip
That husky fucking cry
The dryness of it
How sweet it sounds and yet how much I want it to end
For you to never shed a tear
I guess
I’ve been enlisted to contain you,
To be your bucket with no holes
And all the while maintain our own freedoms,
Remember where my skin ends and yours begins,
Which is hard when
You literally grew inside my bloody skin!
But here I will always be
Trying
To tow the line of love;
Our boats unmoored
Drifting into blue seas that bleach our eyes with brightness
Sharing bread and juice,
Steamed yams
Chewy sweets, sour cola bottles
All
Ways
Always
Always
Always
