Do you really mean it?
Do you really mean it when you say I love you?
Do you really mean when you say you won't hurt me?
Because I see what you do in secret?
Do you really mean it when you say you'll be by my side?
Do you really mean all the things you say?
Do you really mean I'll be your everything?
Because I see the way you look at them.
Do you really mean everything you do?
Do you really mean I'm your everything?
Do you really mean these words that come out of your mouth?
Because all of the words sound like lies to me.

Reaching Out
I promise her. I'd do anything for her. She's my mom. Even as Lanie and Deanna are flying home, Mom is scrappy fighting dying. She lays too still in that too-big bed with all the toasty white hospital blankets, in the south tower, at the broad end of a long slow-turning corner that delivers me again to her private room with the view she can't see through, with the beeping that tells us nothing new, and all these ice chips she can't swallow, and a flood of well-intentioned nurses who cannot do a damned thing all the same.
