My Life.

+4

It all started, the day I was born,
My abuelito said his family was what he lived for.
His wife, my momma, my aunties & my uncles,
Ready to protect me with a pair of brass knuckles.
He promised I would be the one he held high,
Just knowing that he loves me, makes me wanna cry.
& one day after school, seeing him sleeping in his bed,
Waking up to my momma crying, saying he was dead.
That day, the whole fucking world just stopped.
I could’ve fucking sworn that my heart just dropped.
I’ll never forget the man that said, “I love you,”
Knowing those three words so fucking true,
He told me to keep the nasty boys out of my mind,
Wishing that was playing in my head at the time…
I was wooped over a wanna be Norputo,
But, lookin back at it now, I was a stupid little girl, though.
& on our first date, I thought a kiss was just enough,
Until he pulled me closer & said, “Baby, lets fuck.”
He said he loves me, but its him I cant trust,
& still my abuelito looks down in disgust.
So Dear Grandpa, i sat here, & wrote this, & thought it through,
So I wanna say three words i didnt get to say: “I love You”
