Mother’s Daughter
I slept under your sheets before I met you
Your kitten was young and my drive was long
I cried over the seafood platter in the full restaurant and I made you run red
The only green we’ve seen is the grass in Lafayette
I dug my sneakers in the mud and I never felt so clean
You dug your crocs in and yet you never felt so lifted
I had just met the man and he knew nothing of me
But your father said he was sorry
for the absence I speak of so eagerly
Mother’s daughter
Shed a tear like the sink in between us
What was done to me, I felt so guilty
I drove back home, ten hours, a mothers daughter, and I have never felt so filthy
