Loneliness as cold As a cats tail curled around the scope Of the moon Breeze caresses the doorframe The trees are still reaching for sky And I’m out, haunted, begging back my name Copyright ©️ Kimberly Virga 2026

My book is live!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve summoned the spirit of saint Taylor Swift And she suggested an alchemy, an airway To the ossuary of all the bones that bothered To dare hold me up But that would assume I was properly fathered Michael, I appreciate your heritage, your wicked Irish landscape I am grateful for your olive green eyes And boundless sarcasm Wow- Could you list three things you like about me? Or am I just another woman skittering around earth With your DNA, helpless, you deserted me So rapturously No need to explain, I know I wasn’t the easiest But the responsibility to accept my misgivings as you see fit- Bro, I won’t have any of it Copyright ©️ Kimberly Virga 2026

To my future self , who will enter in my life And whose relationship does last forever even after death . I am not perfect in everything , Will you accept me ? I have suffered from body shame , Will you accept me ? I'm bullied so I don't know how to feel , Will you accept me ? I am an overthinker so I am not good at expressing myself , Will you accept me ? I am not a good friend , sister , daughter , mom nor a good wife , Will you accept me ? I am suffering from anxiety because of childhood trauma , Will you accept me ? I got angry and easily cried on small things , Will you accept me ? I can't cook , will you accept me ? I am an older daughter and only hope of my parents , Will you accept me ? I am not good at fulfilling my parents dream , Will you accept me ? I don't have anything to give you , Will you accept me ? Will you accept me , if yes it is I will try to heal Or give you all the love that u deserve . I can't heal from everything nor am I good at Forgetting everything , but I will try to forget all These only because of you . Will you accept me as I am ?

Catherine, I’ve been to the church, didn’t find god Although the wine was delicious I’m disappointed in the lack of merch Ladies in their best dressed But I feel hollow When comes the part of feeling blessed Catherine, You are cathedral and calculating In the best way Eyes drumming through like the richest penny And I know it wasn’t your intention But I don’t need contrition To be the most to many Catherine, The crypt of your former self has startled The starlings and low branches of breath Exchanged between two people who love Even without understanding Even with you gone eighteen years, I’m stuck in this web you are still commanding Copyright ©️ Kimberly Virga 2026
