It's been a year
since your secrets
flooded out
like a dam burst open
like I was hit in
the chest
by a cascade.
like you thought
i could look at you
the same.
like walls of water
destroy nothing
like cities filled with
water
like broken dams
like lies
aren't hard to fix.
I'd like to see you
contain a river of water
and try to stay
afloat.
