i couldnt breathe- the anger was burning the insides of my nostrils-
--so i slit my throat trying to open up a new airway-
all that spewed out was a lover's name//
                                              the one who has chained a piece of my heart to his thigh
                                                                                                             emptied it
and uses it as a place to store his change/


my ears still ring with the sound of my heart strings hitting the nickels and dimes.
