First Grade

A boy fell in love with me.
He was too shy to say it,
But I could see it in his eyes.

I teased him and laughed,
But I liked having him close.
Then he moved away,
And with him went a love so pure.

I miss you, Yuri Smirnoff.

Unborn

I was pregnant once,
But the baby never came.

I marked my wrist with ink,
A quiet monument to the life
That wasn’t.

You were there beside me,
Through the silence, through the ache.
I’ll never forget
That you carried it with me too.

Siberia

A place I’ll never return to.
You sheltered me when chaos reigned,
Held me steady as the storm raged.

But even now,
I can’t bring myself to go back.
