Lightly sifting through this mess
Rearranging all of the tANGlEd
                                            
                                         wires beneath this flesh
Unplugging all the
burnt out
chords
collecting
dust
between
v e i n s
-
Like the one that deals with missing you
And the one that deals with hating you
Knocking down the
walls that kept them
safe behind my

eyes
Opening the flood gates


                          Soaking through your t-shirt
Leaving
a
t r a i l
of salt in
every room of this house

Claw marks at the door
----
Stay behind the threshold 

I'm not letting you in this time around
