Life’s Not Ever What I Expected

What can I say about my mom?
She’s a single parent
And though I miss my dad I’ve never known.
Viewing items in a box that once belonged to him
I know he must have been a great man to have married my mother.

Luke
He’s been my father figure from day one
And I wouldn’t change that.
He’s like a grown version of my best friend,

But now that my mom’s not who I thought she was
What else can I think?
She’s hidden a past from me that I can’t even begin to fathom
For all I know Luke is in on it.
Maybe my geek friend is a vampire in disguise
After meeting the golden boy
I don’t even trust my own eyes any more.

I won’t be waking up tomorrow, to go to my art classes anymore.
Somehow I think they will become insignificant in the days to follow.
Everything my mom has taught me seems so insignificant right now.
