I'll be

For You

For you I'll be

the cool girl

the one unbothered by your past

untethered to expectations

sexy in a prom dress

For you I'll be

the good wife

the one who does laundry

cleans up messes

sexy in a tshirt and jeans

For you I'll be

the closer

the one who knows the score

puts up the numbers

sexy in a power suit

For you I'll be

the other woman

the biggest mistake you ever make

sexy in nothing at all

For you I'll be

the daughter

the one who calls regularly

diligently dutiful

graceful in pajamas

For you I'll be

the mother

the one with good advice

who'd gladly take a bullet

cloaked in failure

For you I'll be

myself

the one with all the scars

nothing left to be but

invisible

sad poetry
