Minnesota Lover
Minnesota Lover
She is a good lover with
deceptive eyes
and a fragile heart.
Cold and mysterious.
Like the Minnesota roads
she drove
the first time she left home
and crawled into bed, to live.
And swim
with you.
You traded her in
and so she nestled with him
because she wanted to feel again.
Love her. Hard.
Like she does you.
Because although she trespassed
through open fields,
she deserves what she cannot take.
She is a mother and a daughter and
we all make mistakes.
