Trips To Vegas

Dolisha DeVonne

I hopped on a plane, because you were too scared to fly,

Got on the High Roller, when you were afraid of heights,

Inhaled the Nevada air, a place you’ve never been,

Danced in the night,

Brought my friends,

Maybe sinned.

The coaster at New York, New York, made me fear for my life,

And I walked til my feet hurt embodying visions of lights,

At night, in a hotel room, I slept on the highest floor,

All the curtains open for city lights to allure.

I dreamed,

I relaxed,

Didn’t worry about home.

I talked,

I laughed,

Endless memories captured in my phone,

All these things I’ve done, you never got the chance to do,

I lived for you.

For Mama…Love Dolisha
