FISH
I never knew my heart was a fish
just swimming around inside my chest
when you were around it fluttered
unaware it was about to be snared
you, the fisherman who reeled it in
had no fight from my fish
but i didn’t want my heart to be a carp
released so quick after capture
I wanted it to be a salmon or trout
devoured and savoured.

“I changed” you said
(but you didn’t change with me),
“You wouldn’t change” I said thats why we can no longer be
In this marriage we Said “till death do us apart”
not a real death
just the death of the love in our hearts.

Cherry red nail polish chipped from nights before.
After blacking out she will later notice empty bottles sprawled out on the floor.
Ignoring her shame
she will once again play this game
by promising to have only one more.
Despite previous knowledge
she denies ever being an alcoholic.
She becomes out of control when she is full of liquor.
Why speak out about her problems? When drinking is so much quicker?
With hands decorated in chipped cherry red nail polish
She wonders if it could be symbolic.
She looks down, noticing the cracked lines of what was once a cherry red.
She considers retouching her nails but takes a drink instead.
She looks once more this time understanding the cracked lines of what was once a cherry red.
