Jul 2017
for my sisters
the sky was the bluest it has ever been this morning
and it puzzled me how the temperature raised from 18 to 30 overnight
i turned in bed, as always you were drooling on your pillow
and i stretched my arms, it was green and purple and yellow
i always knew you were funny, had me laughing since the first day
you always had a punch line,
last night the punch line was my face
your audience was my body, your stage was this bed
your applause were my tears and this is what you said
"i love you but you're too sensitive. stop crying," you said
while your knees were on my shoulders, a pillow over my head
"you hurt me. you ******* hurt me," you said
as you spat on my face, said you wish i was dead
i always knew you were strong, with arms that made me feel safe
last night i discovered what it meant to be *****
