Moving On

How I got over Green Eyed Prince.

Leaning too far into him

I was completely enraptured. 

And when he left,

I was utterly abandoned.

Then you showed up,

Crooked teeth and southern drawl. 

My crutch was the big city,

My legs were the steady speech of south. 

Forever thankful to the Mama's boy

Who gave me my legs

And allowed me to stand upright 

Off the crutch

That was you. 

Author's Note

Note: I did not get my legs back to walk for or with this southern helper, he reminded me how to walk by myself, for myself.
