      Letters to Mum

      Mar 24, 2021

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      To the people who betrayed me:

      To the boys that made love seem

      like a good idea and then proved

      why it wasn’t:

      To the people who saved me:

      To my readers, the things I learned:

      For the most amazing people,

      I’d wait for your call, sitting by the phone.

      Allowing the anxiety to possess my soul,

      hoping your heart would slowly unfold.

      I knew you were emotionally unavailable.

      But I fell too quickly and my heart was too

      choose me?
