Alas

if i were angelic
i would call you
and flutter my wings
so hard
you would be covered
with soft pink
unconditional love
and your tears
would be prayers
of gratitude

if i were a good woman
a strong woman
a woman who can
rise above
i would have stayed
accepted all apologies
wished you a Happy Birthday
and lullabied you
to sleep

but i am not angelic
i am a hard haunted hollow mess
i am suicide
i am tragic
i am a woman
and fully
i have loved & lived loudly
i have given everything away
but alas
none of this
makes me
good enough
pure enough
for you to cherish & protect
