I walked past the church Mama.
She looked so beautiful
all in white her flowers
were white gardenias.
.She looked like an angel.
I suffocated in sadness Mama
it came back to me
like a ghost in my chest.
I thought the sadness was gone.
from so long ago.
When I saw him kiss her
I felt her fingertips fall from my hand.
And I walked into the Blues Mama
She looked so happy
the warmth from their love
dried up my tears in its heat.
She has taken all my happiness
too Mama.
All the happiness
I will ever know
and has given it to him.
