I can make jokes about it<\/p>\n
I can even craft a script to include every egg,<\/p>\n
and I\u2019ll make them crack themselves up.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But instead I dance around your eggshells,<\/p>\n
I hold up your umbrella in the rain. I remind you<\/p>\n
to pick up almond milk for morning coffee.<\/p>\n
Every day you remind me a little more of my mother.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not saying I hate you.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m just saying, someday,<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll stop answering the phone.<\/p>\n
