Had I known it was the last time
I would have had nothing to lose

my womanhood
is a loaded pistol
and many men have tried
to wrestle it
from me

I would gladly go back
as I am
to make you suffer
the things
i am still
trying
to
recover from

you weren't ribbons or butterflies
you were steel wool and butcher's knives

to everyone i told before
i never really did
the empty glass from which i poured
i never really did
to all the boys I begged before
you never really did
the kinds of things you had in store
a miracle i lived
to all the ones i told before
i never really did
your twisted lies your empty eyes
you never
i never
we never
really did

if i think too hard about the things you deserve
i am then too close to violence

I still hold your name at the back of my throat
like getting sick
choking on the sound
the way it feels coming out of my mouth
poison
little black drips of you
seeping- riding over the soft curve of my bottom lip
unstitched
tastes of copper and blood

Understand that
feelings fall like fruit
rotting, sweet, and full of juice

you stopped the bleeding-
the pulsative nature of my heart
you cut the veins and tied them into knots
a gallon of morphine -
never enough
You made rose gardens out of marrow
and comedy shows out of love
you stopped the bleeding
I stopped the beating
we got even
and lost it all.

Before things were bad
they were really good
which is why I kept waiting
just like he knew I would
