Sometimes I wonder
If it didn’t happen the way it happened

What if it happened now not then?
Would it have turned out the way
The way we both expected it to?

Flaws
Sometimes I think I still see you on street corners
Minding your own business
Going somewhere
To someone
With something to do
a smile on your face
And it makes me happy
To know you’re happy
And it makes me wonder
How a feeling could linger so long
When it probably isn’t
What I thought it was
Sometimes I think I see you on street corners
But it’s just a stranger passing by
Or maybe you’re just a stranger now

Sometimes I feel like I’m made of thread
I’m sewing up my freyed parts
With the strings I’m made of

I’m trying to remember things
Help myself heal
At a party, by an unlocked car

I didn’t like being there
You followed me out expecting a kiss
Or something more because you invited me.

I didn’t want to
I wanted to go home
But in your mind
that wasn’t my choice
You wanted something
You where gonna take it.

Pushing me against the car
My hand scrambling for a way out
The back seat door was my salvation
You where fast
your face above mine
Pinned in the back seat.

You pressed your mouth on mine
Trying to squirm away
Your fingers tracing up my thigh
Into my skirt
The roof of the car was gray
Your fingers went somewhere I never wanted them to be

The roof of the car is gray
The roof of the car is gray

You where done I got out the car
walked to mine

Sweating my makeup smeared your shirt


I saw you the next week
I lost an earring in that car
You gave it back to me and said
“You left this in my car”
And smiled

Come over and get your things
I’ve cleaned out your drawer
It’s all by the door

Come get your things
I’ve already changed the sheets

White hair and freckles
5’2” glasses
Carmel brown eyes
Soft skin
She smells of warm rain in spring

How can you switch off what you felt for me?
You told me it was so deep
How do you turn it off?

Could you teach me one more thing?
Please
How do you make it stop
This aching rip in my chest

I don't know how to do it
Can't catch a break, or my breath
I'm begging how do you do it?
I want to shut this off to
