Collecting the lashes of lustful living
Still the shadow of the welts discernible on my thighs
But it's the ones not visible to your wandering eyes
The gashes on my
mind
The lacerations on my
heart
Still bleed
Still a mess to clean up everyday
Still a disaster to ignore
The elephant in the room has found a friend and I'm pushed up against the wall trappedΒ Β 
What could I cut off to escape
This crevasse I've fallen (or was pushed) into?
Abba " knowing me knowing you " strums on my iPod
"Breaking up is never easy to do" the refrain while I try to absorb
"This time were through". How does the device know...?....followed by "down in it" (NIN) and seasoned with a little PJ Harvey. Wow...tough walk this morn!
