my target
is penetrating your heart
and craving in and to hold on tight.
so i stand ready holding still in the bow
launching myself
against walls
and the floor
missing.
i crash and burn
it hurts
but i get up again
try again
despite the bruises
despite the hurt.
it's supposed to be hard
so i go the distance
and fall again.
sometimes i cry
but it's difficult
just let me in
i'm not a parasite.
