i wish
i could forget
your zodiac sign
so i wouldn’t have
to read yours
after i read mine.

She wrote your name on her paper heart
Swore to hold you close
But you could not see fragility
Under blue skies, rain, or smoke
And just like that she tried to hide
The rip, the tear, the pain
Your gushing river tore her apart
Like papered artwork in the rain.

- c.t.

I am a patchwork creation
Of blatant sins
And past regrets
They are forgiven
But they never forget
