Untitled

Forget the hands that held yours:

remember your spine.

 

Wear your hair how you like it.

Stay up late to sleep through the day.

Research what that lump is in your back.

Do nothing about it.

They tell me: You look prettier when you smile.

 

They tell me: You have no right to remember,

Because it made you sad.
