This is How it (always) Ends

My problem is I always fight for him.

I feel him pulling away and I dig my fingernails in a little more.

I make sure there's more blood in the room.

And then there's the teeth

and I'm throwing them at him hoping they'll lodge in his shoulder blades.

And then there's the red on my chin, my shirt, seeping into my chest

and I'm looking at him for answers but he's still walking away.
