Tears








by Michelle Homer





When I read what I have written..
.
I cry

Always

Still

After all these years.

Will it never end?

"Don't personalize his outbursts," I am told.

How not to?

When I answer my cell phone
and he says,
"I'm not talking to you bitch, I'm calling dad"

On MY cell phone.

And he's only 10.

Still 10.

How will I survive?

How will he survive?

How not to personalize?

How to continue to love?
