(Poem)I’d Never Wish You Away

The way my mama taught me
I’m supposed to wait on you
Wish for you
The way my mama taught me

The way my mama taught me
You’re supposed to eat before me
Dinner at our kitchen table
With scented candles

The way my mama taught me
I don’t wanna go out with my boys
Late night, low volume, slow songs, by the couch
I listen to your insecurities and tell you, how wrong you are

About yourself.

The way my mama taught me
I’m not deserving of you
And every moment with you, after this moment
Is God’s doing

The way my mother raised me to be, for someone like you
