mattress on the floor.

3 years ago.
3 years ago
i left in a van.
I remember it was
August. I took
one last look.
The view was
beautiful.
I remember
you holding
me as we looked
at this view.
Now all I remember
is me leaving.
I moved what I
could fit.
my mom
and 2 dogs.
That first night
I slept on the floor
on a single mattress
on the floor.
Buddy in his crate.
Maxine on the
mattress with me.
Now 3 years
later I lay on a
single mattress
on the floor.
Maxine is gone.
My heart has
healed.
I am moving on.
I have slept with
different men.
I never thought
I would do this.
I left my job
and I am moving.
Laying on
this Mattress
I am a different
woman.
I have been used.
Lied to.
Heart broken.
Told I was dumb.
Told I was Fat.
Told I was Stupid.
As I lay on
this mattress
I have found
me.
I am sexy.
Curvy
and full
of love.
I am a true
friend.
I am loyal.
I am smart.
I am
simply,
Life.
I miss my Maxine
laying next to
me breathing
so hard.
I miss her smile.
Truth be told,
I started where
she left off.
I am Maxine.
I am love.
I am life.
I am a mattress on the floor.
