Snarl

I do not have to be sorry for

Just standing in the mirror,

Searching for the hole i can feel

Tearing through my skin I don’t

Have to apologize for sitting

On the tile way too fast and

Way too hard I don’t have to

Spell your name the way I

Heard it the first time because

Suddenly it’s different because

Suddenly it’s wrong i don’t want to

get up I don’t want to lift my heart again

It is buried in my hip bones it has

Weighed me to the floor I cannot

Speak about the bruises that left

Foam beneath my shirt

Screaming at each other til they

Snarled like dogs and spit
