Ube Skies

inspired by a line from my cousin's poem. ube is a purple yam

All I can do is dream of you I was in my bed with my eyes closed my heart misses you the most I imagine your loving me like your supposed to I open myself to the daylight I find ube skies through teary filled eyes Where did you go my lover? I can never truly love another Are you happy I am jaded? As you are free and complicated All I wanted was Prince Charming Even through the alarming things you do I will always love you darling Was it all an act? Everything to the note trying to get a way back Then eleven at night Same old thing I miss you how is your life Oh baby why Why do we hurt people so All the customers were so mean  They refused to use the umbrella bags They just want to drip drop their rain all over our floors Makes me cry so sad I remember when I lost my Aunt Lo to ALS She fell on the floor lost her forevermore  health care is a field of expensive unhappiness Some asked me what is the big deal? My problem is my co-worker reminded me its ok to feel All the others have umbrellas that are bagged and closed While some disrespect sacred floors It makes me cry some more My co worker stayed by my side and said if you cry, i cry no matter how i tried the tears just came from the inside down my cheek she reminded me these people are s****y you are the angel dont forget In her eyes I once again see ube eyes Through all the jaded lies of the degreed ladies and guys Think they are the rich ones owning the life Humans are damaged and dumb I maybe one I refused to be numb I refused to believe we are just flesh and bone Love is what connects through the veins and we aren’t alone Through this angel by my side I see once again the light of ube skies.
