I never thought Id
I never thought I’d see her keys again.
Yet there they are, in a photo.
Year, 2013.
When we were in Orlando, Florida, visiting our friends.
The keys, they were her car keys.
Mom used to tell me back when we lived together, to always put them near her purse.
Yes, I remember that detail now.
The car keys, there were multiple keys to open the door, but the black item attached with the red button was to unlock the car.
Mom’s car.
Mom’s car, Mom’s keys, I just miss everything. :(
Even the baby clothes that she was just so attached to.

nobody knows the trouble I've
I should have known you were trouble when
you told me how you sold out your mother
at age eight; the way she collapsed
on the stairs when you found her
nine years later, her hands on her face.
I should have known you were trouble then.
But I looked past it, I even looked past
the way you touched my face like I was
your lover; I pretended it had brotherly intentions.
And I tried to look past the way you
touched my hand behind your girlfriend when we
sat on the ground watching Dark Star Orchestra,
but by then I was faltering.
