To Grams
you were the one
who was supposed to
love me
only love me
the one who
wrapped me
in soft arms
and made me feel
for just a moment
that I was safe
I didn’t realize
you were human
could make mistakes
say hurtful things
but then you did
and then you
died
but on that dreamy day
with the light
pouring in
and the sweet weight
of new life
nestled beside me
half asleep
half awake
there you were
smiling at me
you looked so beautiful
and I felt drenched in love
soaked from head to toe
as I smiled back
with my lips
and with my heart
at you
