i will never
forget looking out
that second story window
hearing the
pool filter
in the background
mixed with heavy breathing
the cheetah print
sheets that cut
my skin open
the smell of marlboro golds
and sweat
with a hint of hopeful regret
filled that entire bedroom
that summer day
but most of all
it was that feeling
that i would rather risk
breaking both legs
jumping from the window
than deal with this pain
ever
