Let us be the girlfriends we are
Discombobulated
All getting it all together
Dancing alone and pushing through the music
Let me smile at my Bridget Joneses
Kadijah Jameses
Carrie Bradshaws
I’ve laughed at tables during hilarious meals
Watched movies and cried
Raised up hands creating connection
Lifting up hands when someone close died
We sit around tables and walk through histories
We told the truth
We TELL the truth
Just a few bits of changed world here and there
Wastelands of loneliness left behind
In each others crazy
And it smells like cupcake
Or napkins that held the world together
When the tears tore it apart
The skin of our babies
The blood of our lives in the blood of our living
And the most random stories thrown in for effect
Affect
We are girlfriends
And this is
What it is
