Tuesday Grace

I'm tired of this face of mine
I think I'll have to change it
I'll plump my lips, slim my chin
Debag my eyes and smooth my skin.
...

Welcome me back with open arms
Say I don't need to explain
Let's put the past behind us
And start all over again.
...

Write me a poem, sing me a song
Hum me a tune and I'll hum along.
Tell me you love me, lie if you must
Don't shatter my dreams or crush them to dust.
...

My sadness comes often, sometimes it stays,
Outlives it welcome and goes on for days
Sometimes its brief flickers then dies
Then it just leaves, no fond goodbyes
...

Come sit with me and talk awhile
Tell me how you are
Tell me how your feeling
How's your day so far?
...

Brown hair, green eyes and a mole on my thigh
Five feet four inches but used to be five.
Don't mention my weight its a problem with me
Because I like to eat biscuits with my cup of tea
...

Today I skyped my daughter
So what I hear you say
It's just that she's my daughter
And lives so far away
...

Do you ever stop and wonder
What happens when you die?
About your mode of transport
To your new home in the sky?
...

What if my eyes were blue, my hair jet black
My breasts were firm my jaw not slack
My hips were narrow my legs a delight
My teeth were even my smile was bright
...

I think I'll be an influencer
I'll be really good at that
I'll buy some bots from Russia
and flog some plastic tat.
...

Can I take a break from living?
Can I die for just one day?
Just to ease the burden
And take my pain away
...

One night after wining and dining
He said he thought we should try
'For a baby, it will be awesome
And your clock is ticking on by'
...

This year I turned sixty
So what? you might say
It's only a number, just one more day.
But sixty is old it makes me feel sad
...

I quite often wonder
At night when I'm in bed
Why lots of stupid, silly things
Go racing through my head
...

Will you remember me when I die?
Will you speak my name and cry?
Will you shed a tear then quickly move on?
Will you still love me when I'm gone?
...

When you leave me
Leave me in Spring
Leave me the hope the daffodils bring
...

Live your life with no regrets
Take the risks, place your bets
Seize the moments and the chances
Feel the fear, but no backward glances.
...

You always were the pretty one
The one that men adored
With bright green eyes and long red hair
You couldn't be ignored
...

Heart, you really let me down
Eyes why were you not seeing?
Feet you just stood there very still
And legs why weren't you fleeing?
...

When we were young
The days were long and the years were longer
Dreams were big, hopes were high
We reached for the stars, the moon and the sky
...
