cowardice
in the blood
on the sharp edges
dripping
staining

fear,
resentment,
disappointment,
loneso­me,
lost.

mostly cowardice.

who is she now?
a different person from before.

it would be okay
if they all forgot about her now
because they all know
what she used to be

that's who they love
that's who she loved.

she'll forget now.
because she knows
what she used to be.
