coward.

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.
