Don’t let me use you. I will,
but tenderly.
I found your words
you wrote them on parchment
left them in "bottles with cork stoppers" on
street corners
not for me - for everyone
tangible words, you said
you said,
“i will cut out of my heart all the
things that dont serve me”
please use a sharp, surgical instrument
sterilize it well
if you infect your heart
it will feel like mine
you said I don’t try hard enough
I have to try hard not to be there
leave everything
only to find you checked out
before I arrived
and laugh at myself
