While you were away,
I learned to keep myself company
for longer than anyone should.
While you were away,
I picked lilacs to lure you in,
but it didn't do any good.
I won't be unreasonable.
I won't say I blame you
for everything wrong with me.
But it does seems as though
you're at the heart of all my stress.
There's no telling when I'll see you again.
But thanks for being present when you could.
Thanks for assembling me, I guess.

sanctify
to make holy; set apart as sacred; consecrate.
You've kept your distance from me.
And I know that it's most likely because
I get too much sleep,
my organizational skills are lacking,
or because I wear this shirt three days a week.
I don't take time to make my hair shine,
bounce, poof or fluff.
My face is never painted up.
I don't have an extensive wardrobe
or any of that stuff.
But each night I kneel down,
and I hear it so clearly:
"My Daughter, it is enough."
